The fact that you have linked it does mean that it works. The beauty of ART. I like the way it began as a benignant objects and events and all of a sudden they morphed into malevolent events with animals running for their dear lives.ImageNationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021414643103601330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555516329392912719.post-81593758961808845372010-04-18T13:07:39.268+00:002010-04-18T13:07:39.268+00:00Poverty as a subject on One Ghana One Voice!

I like the chain of perilous events in the last stanza, that underline the wrath of Harmattan*.<br /><br />*It can be debatable for us to assume that 'The Dry Season' is about Harmattan only.

If you want to know about the heady days after independence, until the dream crashed, Kwesi Brew is the go to guy. <br /><br />Beneath the beautiful language, his poems, often display an understated menace, as if to keep you on your guard. Perhaps the love poetry of Dennis Brutus was the only body of work that could match Brew's genius for turning the everyday into the frightening.<br /><br />CheersLSnoreply@blogger.com
