Late October: Poems-Drew Gachagua
From the fervid heart of a 16 year-old African poet, Drew Gachagua writes about his realizations and love sensations: That well-intentioned love can also harm him, that his kindness cannot save the world, that life will only be long if we can live it to it’s full extent, and that we are all one-of-a-kind. In his redolently composed “essence of my adolescence”, Drew touches on themes of passion, fury, child-eyed wonderment and his newfound self-love.
This 60 page collection of poems is filled with adorable illustrations, and poet’s notes are included to assist young and new readers with poetry interpretation.
