Write a review
An Odyssey tracing the pathway to an evasive Ithaka, the poetry of Landeg White reflects astutely and passionately on the meltdown of European empire in Africa and the Caribbean. A measured yet engaged commentary on post-colonialism there is also evidence of a profound lyricism and a relentless participation in the lived moment. Where the Angolans are Playing Football offers the opportunity to read a selection of this fine poets work over thirty years along with new and previously uncollected poems.
Containing selections from the poet's previous five publications, as well as new poetry, this volume is a comprehensive introduction to a poet who writes with humor, pathos, and a gift for observation.
