The Pelting March of the Storm

About the Book

The Pelting March of the Storm challenges the helplessness of Africans in the face of man-made and natural disasters, and encourages a renaissance of spirit forged on self-pride and self-discovery. Both authors draw on timeless African memories, and have provided us with images sketched on a tapestry of cultural and contemporary African life. This is a fine collection of poems of life in Africa, and calls on us to follow them on the journey to regain pride and selflessness, in a world dominated by greed and selfishness. This is a book of treasures to read and cherish.
