VIBES - A Collection of Poems

By Angela G. E. Tuboku-Metzger

THE BOOK
"Angela Tuboku-Metzger spins out fifty poems that are delicately woven to deliberately haunt the readers' psyches on issues relating to love, marriage and life in general. Angela never tires to be direct, simplistic and didactic in her fifty poems of love, marriage and life. An interesting thing to note about this collection is that all the poems are written in elevated verse form, which reminds us of the seriousness of the issues, be they prostitution (TOO MUCH), tastes (BEAUTY), futility (HAPPINESS), ambition (GET GOING), manipulations (MARY ANN), nature (HAPPY MORNING), determination (DARK CHAINS) and contradictions (FLIPSIDES) at hand. As a poet myself, I would love to be reading another collection of Angela's Poems. This is a collection that I will highly recommend to educational institutions across the country and beyond."

Dr. Abdulai Walon-Jalloh (PhD), author of six books, Senior Lecturer and Head of Department of Language Studies at Fourah Bay College University of Sierra Leone

"Baby of Shame" quietly and deeply throws light on the sorrowful plight of young women and girls. It triggers a feeling of empathy. Written with powerful simplicity, the themes of the poems remind of the African woman as the most prejudiced and oppressed. Angela Tuboku-Metzger managed to represent perfectly the twisted view of women in a very stereotypical African society."
