Soul to Song

“In a language which echoes no known poet’s, a voice so singular in its unconventionality, and themes that capture the poet’s people’s history and reality in spectacular images, Benjamin Kwakye’s Soul to Song pioneers a fresh path in contemporary African poetry.” –

“Kwakye’s writing contains exuberant humor… and cutting insights into human nature… A darkly humorous modern take on the triumph of money, corruption, deceit, and evil” –

“Kwakye’s …verse is replete with a wealth of characters set within Ghana.” –
