Djogbachiachuwa The Liberian Anthology PDF Download

TIPOSAH: Message from The Palava Hut . The themes in TIPOSAH range from patriotism, nationalism, social and political issues, abuse of power to religion, civil war, and life's experiences. They are not trivial themes! They are accusing, critical and implicating. Yet, the rage expressed in them is not about revenge. The voices of the characters are the expressions and thoughts of people who for so long thought of themselves as helpless. They work like hell like the proverbial expression: "Monkey work, baboon draw" that benefits only the rich and powerful in society. These abuses and hypocrisies are attributes of "man's inhumanity" that are found in the pages of TIPOSAH. Indeed, Nyanseor's poems cover the entire human spectrum. He is not afraid to confront the sickening evil that lurks within human nature and the events that unfold when the malevolence is unleashed. His poems on pure, unadulterated evil reflect his fearless stance on describing and deploring the evils in human nature. In fact, TIPOSAH offers an accurate, candid view of the events that unfold around us. The glossary is full of translations of Liberian words and phrases like, KETEHKPOH (short person), FOOT TO FOOT (follow closely), POOR BOY (ordinary guy), NYAMANYAMA (grouping of different things), CORFRADOMA (God damn it), etc., reminiscent of our past. There are also titles like: Patriots or Craky People; Liberia, the Beautiful; We Too, Were Created; An Open Letter to Africans; Thank You Mom; People Will Always Gossip; Love at First Sight; Conversation in Waterside English; Another Woman's Husband; Big Shot Followed My Woman; When Things Chakla; My Vai Shirt, etc. TIPOSAH analyzes the love for humanity and the unbridled purity of the one global village we share. The highlights are full of the complexity of the human spirit; and yet, there is celebration with love and affection that is found within all of us. Nyanseor's poems provide deep insight into the positive and negative aspects of our human nature. His knowledge and deep comprehension of human tendencies shines throughout his works. This book is a treasure worth having and reading, keeping and protecting.
