Description
Description
This is Ibrahim Sorie Bangura’s first collection of poetry written and compiled as part of a project supported by the Prince Claus Fund and Wayoutarts. The poet takes us on a journey along the palm-fringed beaten earth roads of his childhood home in rural Sierra Leone. Travelling with Ibrahim from boyhood to adulthood, from lonely forest paths to the teeming ghettos of Freetown, from first love to fatherhood we meet friends and family, gods, ghosts and gangsters, sweethearts
and soldiers. Through nuanced glimpses of the pain and traumas of rural poverty we transition through a young life troubled by loss and anxiety, an uneasy adolescence questioning the structures of village culture and a reluctant adulthood redeemed by faith, love and hope for the future. Drawing alike on the rhythms of oral storytelling traditions and the beats of contemporary street culture MY ROAD is spellbinding in its heady mix and mastering of different languages and
poetic forms with the grounding authenticity of personal lived experience.
