Satellite by lenrie peters

A debut poetry collection from a surgeon-poet, mapping the orbit between African identity and the gravitational pull of a Western education. Peters wrote this collection while practicing medicine, and the tension between the clinical and the emotional, the African and the European, runs through nearly every poem. His verse is formal without being stiff — emotionally restrained in a way that makes the rare moments of feeling land all the harder. Critics across West Africa praised it for adding a new, measured voice to the chorus of poetry that dominated African writing in the 1960s.
