A PATCHWORK OF POETRY

About the Book

"A patchwork of poetry", is a set of poems describing my feelings as I attempt to regain my sense of self after a life of stress and pain in the diaspora. I believe that poetry is also a shortcut to literacy. My poetry is also an outcry for understanding. These poems are written in a free style. Please buy my book and help me to realise my dream of being a poet. Thank you.
