A Dab of a Film of the Fragrance ...Of a Rose (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Sue Kappa has taken his artistry to another level. Continuing to operate in the unique trait of the African free verse style, he has put together here a set of citations, tributes for the memorable remembrances of the sterling human qualities of notable figures such as Mama Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., Papa Johannes Paulus II, Nelson Mandela, Azumah Nelson, Haile Gebrselassie, Serena Williams, Kofi Annan, Presidents JEA Mills and Rawlings, others, and iconic events such as 9/11, who, and which have greatly impacted many lives. He questions the 'conscious killing' of 'his twin sisters' Ladan and Laleh of Fizourabad and the May, 2020 killing of George Floyd. In 'The Cheering Crowd', he taunts the legendary character, sycophancy as a worthless pursuit. Similarly, he draws attention to the plight of vulnerable head-porters, Kayayee, on the streets of Accra. This collection again marks the deeply contemplative nature of Kappa as he paints relics of the combination of his insightful instincts and style of the long rendition. In this three-in-one volume collection of mostly long homages christened A Dab Of a Film ...Of the Fragrance ...Of a Rose (Vol. 1-3), following four of his earlier collections (all by Xlibris), Kappa utilizes this deep-fry style of digging extensively into subjects treated, to make us reflect on the Golden lives of the personalities eulogized or the social phenomena hoisted up for celebration or for reconsideration.
