Tracks of My Tears

This is a compilation of quite simply put, a man’s life journey expressed in open, honest and quirky poetry. Based on the author’s personal experiences this profound collection touches on an array of life matters; parenthood, politics, love & lust, friendship, wrong-doing, successes & failures plus much more. Readers will identify with the author on a personal level. A great weekend read you will find one of those poems to resonate with your own experiences. Francis Xavier has gifted all revenues and royalties from this publication to the charitable trust he helped found. The trust has a charitable arm inspired by his late mother in law who he never got to meet (read his poem to her inside); The Alice Award seeks to support the pursuit for education and excellence for the girl child and the youth in Zimbabwe. By purchasing this book you have contributed to the Alice Award’s charitable endeavours. Thank you. By Portia Chitanda
