There is a faint trickle of empathetic advocacy that can be found through almost all the articles and poems that make up this book. Whether it is drawing attention to the plight of children in an African village or highlighting the socially sanctioned maltreatment of women despite their dogged efforts in uplifting the same societies, these trails can be followed all through this book.
Depending on your appetite and/or your literary proclivity; you might prefer the expansive expressions found in the essays or the compressed compact nature of the poems. Even as an adjunct, Daniel Elliot captures the essence of some of the poems in visual art.
The hope is that you will find something that feeds your taste, while you ventilate the corners of your mind.

About the Author

Growing up in Nigeria, in high school (Obizi High School), Uzoma Chukwuocha was a science student, but he was given concessional access to Literature classes by the then Literature teacher (Mr. Alimole) who saw early his healthy appetite for written and spoken words. Ever since that early encounter, Uzoma has maintained and fed his enchantment with the literary world.
He kept writing for personal amusement and expression. Writing then recently became a more serious hobby for this practicing physician.

His articles have been published in a number of magazines and online news outlets, including TELL, and THE WHEEL, to mention just a few. This collection of essays and poems is his first published book.
He is working on his second book, a historical fiction set in pre-colonial Igbo land, in present-day Nigeria.
