Dear friends,
Fresh from Poetic Justice Books & Arts in Florida, U.S.A. and shipped from their printing press in the UK is my humble book.
You can buy paperback copies at Poetic Justice Bookstore, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indiebound, Bookvoed in Russia and you can pre-order locally by contacting Clifford on WhatsApp or call +233243129401 or email Ghana Writes on info@ghwrites.com to buy a copy.
The below excerpt of a poem in the book captures the essence of the whole book.
‘until you shine
step into an autumn garden and make the leaves beneath your feet
play you these songs of persistence.
step into an autumn garden and make the leaves beneath your feet
play you these songs of persistence.
until you are great
dance so hard
as if you need to prove to yourself
how good you are at dancing dance
no one is watching you but dance anyway
dance
as though the earth owes you your past
dance.’
