Publisher's Synopsis
A book that tries to come to terms with the African condition' - past, present and future - this collection by a noted Somalian poet is offered as an elegy, but as one that does not grieve overly and unduly over the what-has-been, but rather celebrates the resilience of the human spirit. This is a book that is framed by that age-old Somali adage: Elegy is the voice of the survivor. 'A passionate and elegant work. It speaks for a multitude' - Charles Alexander, Hopeful Buildings'
