About this title

Synopsis

For people of all walks of life, all ages and languages, local and global, this is poetry up front and from the heart. With his characteristic clarity and strikingly poetic images, Haile takes readers everywhere from under the giant Sycamore trees of arid Eritrea to the elegant art venues of downtown New York City; from the poor, local communities of Johannesburg, South Africa or Newark, New Jersey to the halls of the world's most distinguished universities. Printed in both Tigrinya and English, this book represents a unique process of communication and a universal impulse of rhythm and music that is felt and understood with or without translation.
