Más información sobre el libro

Kings and Cannibals and Other Poems is a significant contribution to the existing body of literary works, especially of the poetic genre. It is an anthology of verses whose appeal is, without question, universal. Its thematic concerns, wide and vast, touch almost every facet of man’s sojourn on the planet Earth. It is an arresting commentary on man’s existence and his essence on Earth. From the intellectual terrain to that bond that holds the human community together, including the ultimate price every human being has to pay at the end of his mission on Earth, to the poet’s passionate concern about the social, political and economic absurdities in his own fatherland, this collection captures the reality of social existence. Written in simple, yet elegant metaphoric language and spiced with a huge dose of symbolism and local color, the pages of this anthology flip in a racy, sensational manner, leaving the readers gasping for breath.
