An invaluable handbook of serene, loving, yet, passionate poems to soothe and entertain; a perfect companion for those cosy, rainy nights when we crave life's little pleasures to complete our bliss. In an age trembling beneath its own velocity, where love is often bartered for convenience and silence is mistaken for peace, these poems arrive as both lament and benediction.
They wander through the tender provinces of the heart and the restless cities of conscience-charting the fragile geometry between intimacy and isolation, hope and historical fatigue. Here, affection becomes defiance, and tenderness, a philosophy.
Each poem is a quiet act of remembrance: that amidst the humdrum lives we live in a time of modern despair, the human still trills with song and desire, and still aches, unafraid to love, and celebrate love.
Like A Glass Bead is an exquisite collection of soul-touching poems; a debut triumph by Chidi E.M.Ejikeme.
