The River Gambia: Life of the Gambia

About the Book

These poems (sixty two of them) are varied in nature. They mainly deal with aspects of The Gambian environment and culture, as the title of the book “The River Gambia” indicates. These poems seek to focus attention on The Gambia. They should be useful to both The Gambian, particularly the young and school-going, who may not have witnessed most of the facts mentioned in the poems and the international and general public who may find them illuminating in a way. They should be interesting, particularly to tourists.
