A Melody of Meditation

Sonnets for Mothers is not only a poetry oeuvre of the feminine but a gift/love note to all those who embrace it. A gorgeous collection of motherhood poems that teach us the love, joy, and sacrifices that comes within. Each poem puts down its roots as a way of celebrating Akubo's own lineage.

These are poems to slow you down, wanting you to reflect on the moments Akubo writes in, so skillful in craft that one can't help but keep returning to them more than once. This is a rare gift that only a few poets have achieved, Akubo is one of them. The reader throughout is reminded who we are, and where we are heading but most importantly it asks us to relish the path more often than not in a playful way.

An exciting new collection that can only be appreciated if it's read.

SONNETS FOR MOTHERHOOD is an erudite account of love, intuition and bonding between innocence and nature, as experienced by many in motherhood. Conveyed in a clear, yet concise poetic style, the author's many figurative expressions were rooted within culturally specific spaces. A must-read for every poetry lover.

A prismatic rendition of heartfelt poems.

The poems open with a solemn adulation for motherhood, traversing different landscapes of riveting stories and musings about motherhood. Kaltume writes with the zest of a wood carver, carving words with intentionality that seeps life into human consciousness. The veritable pattern of ensconcing the conditions of mortals is well-presented and potent enough to inspire gratitude
