About this eBook

This is a collection of poems. The themes touched in this book are varied. It seeks to give answers to some of the most basic questions a young man, zealous to change the status quo in his family and community, asks secretly in the chambers of his loneliness. The themes of love and rejection take a major section of the collection. The collection has also tried to retell some of the stories told of old. Being the poets first poetry collection to be published, the book lives much for the reader to decipher. The personalities the piece is dedicated to are Torgbe Arku Dompey XI, Chief of Kpeve New Town and Torgbe Dr. Ulrich Randlisbacher, a Swiss philanthropist and the establisher of Kpeve Senior High School. The dedication is meant to spice them up for the task facing them to develop Kpeve and its education system.
