Songs of the Silent Sun: A Collection Of African Poems

By Amadi Andy Amadi

The African Sun might be silent, but come too close and it will burn. It is beautiful to look at, but do not stare at it for too long. This collection of poems is a letter to Africans in diaspora and curious mind all over the world who desire a different and fresh perspective of the narrative from the motherland. The poems mirror the simple life style of an African village and the hash realities of the our urban slums. They echos the voice of the jungle and the loneliness of life in a crowded city. The poems are are not written to impress the exotic taste of the reader neither is effort made to avoid offending sensibilities of the weary. This work is un-apologetically African and real. This words will take you on a journey. This is a first in a series of poems from the heart of the motherland calling for leaders to take up their responsibilities and for the people to embrace self awareness.
