This moving collection of poems from the Booker Prize–winning author finds strength and hope while reflecting on the complex issues that have plagued Africa.
First published in 1992, Ben Okri’s remarkable debut poetry collection plays with the mystique of the “Dark Continent,” countering simplistic narratives of suffering that have been imposed on it with vibrant, nuanced portraits of the traditions and resilience of the African people.
