Here love, lone parenting, death and its aftermath intertwine with reflections on rifts and shifts in social culture and outsider difficulties in finding meaning in naming, language, witchcraft, and taboos around the dead. This pamphlet of 25 poems turns on a mixed heritage relationship, described by a Ugandan as a generational marker for both societies.
The language of the poems, which carries us through the narrative, descriptive and emotional matters of the book, is tremendously strong, sinuous and agile.
