Collected Poems
by Chinua Achebe
by Chinua Achebe
Achebe's prose seems so poetic to me that I wanted to read some of his poetry. Some of these poems are real gems, like "A Mother in a Refugee Camp" and "After a War." He's a master of poignancy, and he has a real way with words, even in his second language. Many of these poems, though, felt like prose forced into stanzas instead of an idea crystallized in poetry. Still, it's definitely worth the read. Achebe has a depth of soul that is a marvel to peer into.
