Abstract: "This collection comprises fifty poems, organized into ten distinct seasons. The poems are semiotic representations of thematic and discursive issues that are deeply rooted in contemporary society. They seek to teach, please, and evoke the emotions of readers. In terms of teaching, the focus is on themes germane to postcolonial and contemporary discourse, including governance, power, migration, identity, otherness, hybridity, gender relations, morality, spirituality, the environment, and the language question in literature. To achieve these objectives of teaching, pleasing, and stirring the emotions of readers, the poetry makes extensive use of linguistic codes and calligrams in order to reach a variety of readers. What is particularly noteworthy about this collection is the poet&#8217;s insightful use of animal and natural imagery to explore contemporary themes. His strong attachment to nature and environmental aesthetics sets him apart as a 21st-century African Romantic poet."--Publisher's description.
