A captivating collection of poems that cover a wide variety of themes. Nambi the wife and co-founder of Buganda talks to Awa the wife of Adam. She explains that she too has been blamed for bringing Death to the people. A young wife and mother decide to ride a taxi motorcycle to add to the family income. The husband sends her away but gets envious when he visits to see his children. When he complains to his parents and sister. The mother tells him to get her back. The dwarf mongoose sits with the late Nkrumah during his detention at Larwa. He says that he was there for all the animals and creatures of Ghana because they are Ghanaians too.
