Torchlight

About the Book

The Torchlight is a collection of poetry woven with the rich African-lores. It focused on explicit use of metaphors and vivid imagery will catapult the readers into the rhythmic aesthetics of African poetry. It also employ a narrative prose style in a searching manner towards the general subject of Love, Socio-political issues, Family, the Supernatural, ideological mixture of emotions of reality and fantasy of our Human existence. Torchlight seek to interact with the Readers’ perception on the general subjects of love, family, Socio-bonds & boundary(ies), politics and diversity of our everyday living interactions. The primary motif of any literary art is first to entertain with the secondary aim of relaying its messages. We therefore hope this collection of moods suits that higher call of all literary seeds.
