Headugu: An Anthology of Poetry

Headugu, in the author’s native Bohilai- Yadea Tawala language is the act of a fisherman seating in a canoe and lost in thought as his fishing line is cast into the sea. It is used metaphorically to mean waiting in anticipation for that great poem to be reeled in. Through the use of strong imagery, the author explores his heritage to find meaning to everyday issues and exposes social inequalities. The poems present local contexts and attitudes. The anthology is filled with joy, lined with heart felt questions, marked with pain and will take you on a poetic journey.
