Alhaji Sheku Kamara is a people's poet - "This poem belongs to no political party / It has no political affiliation / It should not be quoted or recited by politician / To gain or score political points / This poem is the people’s poem / The poet is not a politician’s poet / But the people’s poet" - and while he laments war and injustice in his beloved Sierra Leone and around the world, (in the words of Gaskin Sanghor Faa-Suku) "the Phoenix symbolism shows the poet is optimistic that our country will rise from all those vices. And his love poems tickle as the poet’s heart skips a beat to his queen!" -- Writing both in standard English and in Krio, Alhaji Kamara takes readers on an adventure in art, politics and love.
