Summary

Offers a collection of poetry, which takes you to unexpected spaces-in exile, in the muezzin's call, and where morning dew is "sucked up by the eye of the sun-black often, pink from time to time." These poems strongly condemn the civil wars that have plagued East Africa and advocate tolerance and peace.
