Logotherapy by Mukoma Wa Ngugi
Written as a tribute to family, place, and bodily awareness, Mukoma Wa Ngugis poems speak of love, war, violence, language, immigration, and exile. From a baby girls penchant for her parents keys to a warriors hunt for words, Wa Ngugis poems move back and forth between the personal and the political.
“Ngugi’s poetry, like the poet himself, is the product of a lifetime suspended between disparate locationsIn Logotherapy the reader finds him pursuing meaning in his memories and experiences stretched between the urban jungles of Nairobi and Boston alike. His measured lines unspool precisely and draw the reader into the landscapes that his imagination inhabits.”—World Literature Today
“Mukoma’s energetic voice leaps out of poems that roll effortlessly and often joyously off the tongue. They are a wonderful adventure into his world of family and friendship, history, memory, and the imagination.”—Bernardine Evaristo, author of Mr. Loverman and Hello Mum
