The themes and issues raised in this book were fascinating but I found it hard to connect with the writing style! Especially as the majority of his work was poetry, the writing style felt jarring and unfluid. I wanted to like this more but glad I read it.

“When the feasting was finished the belly-moving beat of the drum roused the people again after an interval of rest to dancing and chanting over and over again repeating and reiterating from pattern to pattern unraveling the threads of life from the most intricate to the simplest to the naked bottoms as if in evocation of the first gods who emerged out of the ancient unfathomed womb of Africa to procreate and spread over the fast surface of the land.”
