Harrow: London Poems of Convalescence

Harrow: London Poems of Convalescence are a unique, new collection of poems in noted Gambian writer’s poetic works. Simple, reflective, and in rhymes, they depart from the poet’s usual free verse. The poems deal with the near-death experience of a pedestrian hit by a car in London, and the agony of pain while recovering, and the magic of healing. The poems are a catharsis. They are poems, as the poet himself notes, “of looking up when you are down.”
