      About This Book

      In this compelling collection of poetry, accomplished poet, Syl Cheney-Coker's distinctive voice speaks of his native land, Sierra Leone, the desert, poverty, and childhood. Throughout, his imagery and themes reflect his concern for political injustice where it is found, and his fluent and elegant use of language produces a powerful, free-flowing verse. Cheney Coker's work draws its inspiration from both European and African poetic and cultural traditions, paying homage to such artists and musicians of the west as Goya and Vivaldi while expressing his deep love and concern for the continent of his birth.
