Synopsis

Back from the Dead: The Rising of an African Spirit is a celebration of life, its different seasons, and the struggle to overcome. It is an anthology consisting of fifty poems; some poems are images of personal struggles, others visualize the celebration of love, and a few are odes to great leaders and historical reflections. The single message this book intends to transfer to the reader is that a sense of self-love and appreciation does a world of good. Throughout the book, references are made to Africa with the sole intention of encouraging people, Africans on the continent and across the Diaspora, to reflect on their rich identity, take responsibility for their self-concept, and to be proud of their heritage in order to inject a greater sense of self-worth and responsibility in their daily lives.

Biographie de l'auteur

Born in Soweto, Johannesburg, South Africa, I am a reluctant writer. Writing was always a hobby that became a copy writing job, and ultimately, I am writing for a greater purpose. The main reason I write poetry is to highlight the numerous conundrums that life offers. All I do is relay life's questions to the reader to provoke possible answers. I also write because I think African people should take the lead in defining the African experience and play an active role in shaping young minds toward positive behavior. While growing up, I hated reading because the authors, the characters, and the stories were always about other people from other lands and their perspective on everything, including us.
