Shadows of Death, by William Khalipwina Mpina

Print: $17.97

WILLIAM KHALIPWINA MPINA - The poems in Shadows of Death and other poems epitomize life in the developing countries like Malawi. The selection of poems in this book represents a celebration of Africa’s culture as perceived by the author. They portray life as the natives and others live it and continue to live, creatively painting a picture of what does exist in the ‘Dark’ Continent. They commemorate the distinctiveness of Africans as regards to freedom and economic development. They are a torch that exposes how the ailing economies in many nations may not recover from their state of unconsciousness any time soon. Major themes include poverty, death, abuse of power, HIV and Aids, love, lies, corruption, liberty and disloyalty. The book is a demonstration of the poetic road the author has travelled over the years while visualizing shadows of death in Africa.

 

 

 

 

Reflections by the Pond: Hilarie Roseman’s Poetry, by Hilarie Roseman

Print: $9.95

HILARIE ROSEMAN - We are all boat people in Australia, except for the indigenous Aboriginals who are only now being respected and included, hopefully in a legal way, into our culture. For us who came on boats from Ireland, we still retain some of the hurt from 600 years of occupation by Britain, and the dependence on a little drink at the pub to make it all go away. Dealing with the hot potatoes of the past, and the new issues of the present, multi-culturalism, terrorism, and climate change everyone needs all the help they can get. And you will understand that this information should be freely available, and also freely taught to enable us all to live together in peace.

Her more recent art works appear on numerous art and cultural journals internationally. Lida is based in Malta.
