More about the book
Exploring themes of flight and identity, this poetry collection delves into the aftermath of a hijacking in 1976 that transforms Uganda into a pariah state. Through a unique blend of art, history, and philosophy, the author presents a trio of characters—a Poet, a Black Icarus, and a resurrected Jean-Michel Basquiat—who embark on a transformative journey. Utilizing Basquiat's 'exploded' collage technique, the work seeks to reframe the narrative of Black life and create a new mythos, urging readers to embrace their identity as 'New Carthaginians.'
