Book Synopsis Leoneanthology: Contemporary Short Stories and Poems from Sierra Leone by : Hallowell, Gbanabom
Download or read book Leoneanthology: Contemporary Short Stories and Poems from Sierra Leone written by Hallowell, Gbanabom and published by Sierra Leonean Writers Series. This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is acknowledged that creative writing, anywhere, remains a rather intensely personal affair, without being private. And indeed, it is because of the lack of privacy in creative writing that a nation should encourage the growth of its literary tradition. Writers do not just tell their stories or poets show their emotions; in their moods, they assume a multidimensional posture so as to be able to tell universally acceptable stories to appeal to different human senses. The contributors to this anthology are mostly first time writers, whose works have not appeared in mainstream literary journals and publications. While a few names among these contributors may be known in the local Sierra Leonean literary circles as having produced one kind of work or the other, their names are largely unknown outside of Sierra Leone. This situation has to change and is the reason that Leoneanthology has been compiled and published.

And indeed, it is because of the lack of privacy in creative writing that a nation should encourage the growth of its literary tradition.

Book Synopsis Don't Call Me Elvis and Other Poems by : Gbanabom Hallowell

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Gbanabom Hallowell's poems are free flowing and he delivers them with flourish, aplomb, and satirical agility. His poems do not lack the classic surrealism, which are pertinent to poems of anguish. Reading Hallowell seems to confirm that beyond art form, poetry can be a soul-searching vehicle that offers a glimpse into the conscience of mankind, a nation and a poet's mindset---some form of refractive mirror. He has met the litmus test of having transcended the threshold that all aspiring poets must accost, which American poet and critic, M. L. Rosenthal, says, "was to practice the art of poetry on as high a level as possible, and with much honesty as possible." -Oseloka Obaze, Critic and Author of Regarscent Past: a collection of poems.

The same events are seen from five different and, at times, conflicting points of view.
