Go Tell Our King

In GO TELL OUR KING, Betty Abah explores, albeit elegantly, poetry’s prodding yet scintillating tool to express her surprise, awe, disgust or elation at life’s realities. These include death, corruption, oppression, environmental degradation, war, love and elusive hope. It is a poetic potpourri of a sort, undulating in waves of sadness and occasional delight; a harvest of a deeply creative and observant mind. Though most of the imagery revolves around Africa, they have universal appeal. The poems at once entice and grip you. They testify to the poetess as an emerging voice on the African literacy scene.
