The Promise of Hope: New and Selected Poems, 1964-2013

by Kofi Awoonor, Kwame Dawes, Kofi Anyidoho

Kofi Awoonor, one of Ghana's most accomplished poets, had for almost half a century committed himself to teaching, political engagement, and the literary arts. The one constant that guided and shaped his many occupations and roles in life was poetry. The Promise of Hope is a beautifully edited collection of some of Awoonor's most arresting work spanning almost fifty years.

Selected and edited by Awoonor's friend and colleague...
