Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The strength of Mandela the Spear and other Poems lies in Okai's burning desire to celebrate the black experience and culture, through the iconic figures who symbolize those struggles and triumphs. Thus, not surprisingly, one encounters names like Mandela, Nadine Gordimer, Amilcar Cabral, Patrice Lumumba, Kwame Nkrumah, to name a few. Okai has long established himself as one of the towering figures in the field of modern African poetry in English. He is regarded as one of the pioneers of a vigorous reinvention of the poetic genre that revolutionized the poet/audience relationship, changed the mode of expression from scriptography to narratology, and the role of the audience from that of passive reception to active participation.

In His Day is Done, Angelou delivers an authentically heartfelt and elegant tribute to Mandela, who stood as David to the mighty Goliath of Apartheid and who, after twenty-seven years of unjust imprisonment on the notorious Robben Island, emerged with “His stupendous heart intact / His gargantuan will / Hale and hearty” to lead his people into a new era. This poignant work of gratitude and remembrance offers condolences to the resilient people of South Africa on the loss of their beloved “Madiba” and celebrates a man like no other, whose life and work changed the world.

Download or read book I Am Madiba written by Albert Samah and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advocates of free verse, especially Wordsworth, thought conventional poetry was too elitist. So they broke away from its conventions in form and language to liberalize it and make it more accessible to the common folk. Thus the reader was made to read poetry in the day-to-day language of the common folk, language with a straightforward meaning. Today, Albert Samah in Weeping and Laughing Verses unwinds the clock by introducing the intricacies of language that characterize conventional poetry in free verse. The reader reads the title of a poem, then the poem itself, and he is lost in the milky way of words. So he reads again, and he feels a gulf between the title and the poem itself. So he reads again, and a word or sentence throws an inkling of meaning. The poem then starts uncurling itself, and at last, the dynamics of free verse manifest themselves in the full meaning of the poem. The poems are presented in ten themes. Each theme is sui generis, yet all the themes converge on man and his astral and physical environments. And whether the poet is advising, scolding, praising, admiring, moralizing, or lamenting human predicament, the tickling glow of powerful imagination encompasses the reader and fills him with awe. Samah's poetry is powerful, intriguing, fulfilling, sublime and penetrating. It is not free verse for free verse sake. It is free verse for a deeper and soul-searching meaning.

Book excerpt: "Gbanabom Hallowell's poems are free flowing and he delivers them with flourish, aplomb, and satirical agility. His poems do not lack the classic surrealism, which are pertinent to poems of anguish. Reading Hallowell seems to confirm that beyond art form, poetry can be a soul-searching vehicle that offers a glimpse into the conscience of mankind, a nation and a poet's mindset---some form of refractive mirror. He has met the litmus test of having transcended the threshold that all aspiring poets must accost..." Oseloka Obaze, Critic and Author of Regarscent Past: a collection of poems
