Yearnings Of A Traveler
We all have a yearning for something.
For Lekpele, his has been a message of
self worth, as we see in his signature
piece, My Body is Gold; one of
patriotism, as in Scars of A Tired Nation;
one of Pan Africanism as in the piece,
Dig The Graves. He also has a message
of hope as seenin his award winning
poem, Forgotten Future. He is an
emerging voice that one can’t afford to
ignore. Yearning is the debut
chapbook by Liberian poet, Lekpele M.
Nyamalon.
