Description

To read the poems in Traces of a Life is to receive a heroic and tender gift the language for times that renders us wordless. This is a treasure of precious memories, especially those of the poet, carefully and lovingly presented. Frustrations of history and politics jostle with the nobler passions that define our fundamental humanity so that in some of the poems, there is a swift transition from elation and hope to anxiety and despair. Yes, let s light another candle for women poet warriors because Abena Adompim Pokua Busia is certainly one of them. - from Amzon
