The Moonlight Dreams

by Meg Akusika De Amasi

Overview

The Moonlight Dreams book of poems is full of the warmth and joyousness of the Africa she evokes, which offers 'a blessed welcome at every door', but it is also haunted by a sense of loss of the motherland. It is not an accident that the collection opens with a poem about separation - the separation of birth - and the clear-eyed perception that 'freedom stings' underpins the gentle optimism which is the keynote of the book.
