Mohamed Gibril Sesay

Citizens of the Night and other Freetown Poems Mohamed Gibril Sesay

The offerings in this volume are collectively and very suggestively referred to as "Freetown Poems". There is a certain appropriateness in its purportedly Freetown-centric nature: it is a collection in five parts with an ostensible thematic singularity which very cleverly frames a dramatic dialogue between poet and audience, combining unities of vision with forensic analyses of Mohamed Gibril Sesay's relationship with the city of his birth.
