Lyrical, expansive poetry taking the reader from the intimate to the worldly - from here to the universe and back again. The war in Biafra; a life in exile. A life before exile, among the smells of coconut, thatched synagogues, swollen bands of God gathering in faith by the river. This is the voice of the traveller navigating the divide: the soul of a mystic, rooted in the vibrant culture of his people. Universal lyrics whose language can reach to us all.
