In her maiden publication, Dr Tarh Martha Ako Mfortem takes flight, free, unbound, as she celebrates liberty in her poetry. Her unique “free feather” poetic style leaves the reader free to punctuate and understand in their own way. She captures the realities of life with penetrating insight. Reflecting on hideous cultural practices and societal ills, she calls for a paradigm shift to empower the oppressed. She appreciates the wonders of nature, even the wind whistling in an empty bottle: "I claim this liberty/ To listen to my bottle sing/ As it empties, its music divine/ Celebrating nature and freedom...". As a female rights activist, researcher, educator, and psychologist, she uses her creative voice to condemn the obsessions of world rulers and to crusade for peace. This collection is dedicated to all who toil for peace, justice and freedom in our world. Eric Ngalle Charles praises this "gem of a collection. These poems will slice through your deepest fears and lay them bare. Talk about setting the place on fire. Martha’s poems and their integrity shine throughout, and they catch you from the start, leaving no room for manoeuvre."
