Book Synopsis Poems From Africa To The World by : Okechukwu Okugo
Download or read book Poems From Africa To The World written by Okechukwu Okugo and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-27 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poems from Africa to the World is a collection of fictional/real-life stories and historical events written in poetic form. Many see poetry as a piece of abstract writing that is very hard to connect or understand. But the author by turning real-life events and contemporary themes to poetry seeks to fuse storytelling and poetry together, to make them more enjoyable. This collection is peculiar because they are based on varied subjects ranging from American, Chinese, to Italian themes etc. The author being of African origin, most of the themes of the poems in this book are centered on African peoples and culture. But there are many other themes that talk about unique animals, like the lizard with a horn, and another that talks about one of the most "hidden" places of the world, Cape Melville, in Australia. The poetic-short stories are historic and thrilling, and some inspired by true-life events and experiences. A brief analysis of some of the poems in this collection are: Poem 1, BEAUTIFUL AMERICA, is a short story about what made America a great country. It is transformational and displays boundless insight.Poem 4, GIRAFFE IN CHINA, is a true historical account of how the first Giraffe the Chinese ever saw, came to enter the Chinese Emperor's courtyard - a gift from an African King to the Chinese people.Poem 8, LET'S GO SNOWING IN SOUTH AFRICA, is a fictional short story of a typical snowing day in South Africa. And this purveys the insight that it is not always hot and arid in Africa. Some parts of Africa really experience "severe winter," and have snow, just like Europe, and America, etc. Poem 34, ARO OF AFRICA, is a true historical account of how the British fought the Arochukwu people of the eastern part of Nigeria, in the Anglo-Aro war (1901-1902); and tells how the Aro people used mosquitoes to repel the first British invasion of Aro Kingdom. Poem 61, THE RISING SUN, is a story of how a man, to avoid forceful conscription into the Biafran army, disguised and lived like a woman throughout the nearly 3-year period of the Nigerian-Biafran Civil War. This poetic short story is historically gripping.The author's peculiar style of writing poetry follows his quest to make the understanding of poetic works easier and evoke a much larger audience to start appreciating poetry.
Book Synopsis Reverberations Abroad by : Chimdi Maduagwu
Download or read book Reverberations Abroad written by Chimdi Maduagwu and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are a total of nine contributors to this Anthology. All are immigrants from Africa to America, except two people; Cyril Obi and Chinwe Azubike, who live and work in Europe. The collection thus is a reflection of sundry temperaments in poetic art. Non of the writers is indeed writing for the first time. They have all had poems and other forms of writings published in some form of media. However, non also has as yet become towering. Their poems are rich in personal and collective experiences and artistic devices. While some are urbane, some still exhume the rural qualities of African life and yet others achieve a blend of both the urban and the rural. In all, the poems are interesting and the annotations make an understanding of the collection a lot easier.
