Excerpt from yet-unpublished book by poet Kofi Awoonor, killed in Kenya mall massacre

“When the final night falls on us / as it fell upon our parents / we shall retire to / our modest home / earth-sure, secure / that we have done our duty / by our people / we met the challenge of history / and were not afraid.” Excerpts from Kofi Awoonor’s new book ‘The Promise of Hope: New and selected poems.’
