Pages from the Book of the Sun: New & Selected Poems

This long-awaited collection brings together some of the best poems by one of Africa's most important poets. Covering nearly two decades, it represents a substantial part of the poet's new writing as well as poems from his early works. With remarkable vigour and consistency, Osundare addresses major social and aesthetic issues of our time such as justice, freedom, war, racism, the environment, art and the process of writing poetry, all of which are treated as urgent and engaging themes in a variety of delightful and grippingly lyrical styles.
