24 and Gnashing
I don’t know about you, but growing up is scary, confusing and it doesn’t get any better especially if you’re gnashing.
Actually, it is both funny and depressing like forcing a little kid to dance.
But we move on despite the pain, the joy, and rejections towards whatever end.
24 and Gnashing is a journey through the mind of a 24-year-old striding through the defining decade.
It talks about heartbreaks, faith, fear, the joy of friends and family, and maybe hope.

“Valuable for its vivid attempts to make new, locally rooted forms.”—Publishers Weekly
“A celebration of the work of one of our important world poets for readers both inside and outside Africa.”—From the foreword by Kwame Dawes“We pay homage to Kofi Awoonor as a poet not only with a profound vision and articulation of the world, our world, but also with a gift of words that is at home in poetry, in prose, in critical literary studies, and equally in major essays about our African, our human condition.”—From the introduction by Kofi Anyidoho

The Wise Still Hear the Birds: Poems from an African Soul
Africa has many stories to tell. Tales of love, pain, play and authentic fiery living. They hit you as you travel across the continent and encounter the utter beauty, often strained poverty and yet tenacious joy of perhaps the most expressive race in humanity. These poems were written while savoring the integrity and paradoxes of strength, weakness, pain, beauty, faith, hope and love experienced as an African treading through my home space and other spaces.
They will touch you as they bring engagement with issues that a contemporary African must constantly acknowledge. Issues such as the profiling of Africa in international news, living as a migrant, politics of corruption, and quite simply, the dance and simplicity of this place. Ever the romantic, the games and excitements of the most complex emotion have always been significant in my outlook. So I say ‘love is a strange color – all colors merge into it!’
The collection is an exploratory journey of words capturing life and loving in this joyous black skin.
Let’s enjoy!
