Concerto for an exile by Syl Cheney Coker

A debut poetry collection processing displacement and cultural loss through the landscapes and history of Sierra Leone, written from exile. Cheney-Coker's first collection set the tone for a career spent largely outside the country he wrote obsessively about, fusing the imagery of Sierra Leone's coastline and history with the disoriented ache of living far from home. Critics noted his unusual range of literary influences for an African poet of his generation, drawing as much on French and Latin American poetic traditions as on West African ones, a cross-pollination that would define his later, more ambitious work.
