New Poetry

In The New Carthaginians, time – and with it the world – is out of joint. A hijacked plane lands at Entebbe International Airport in 1976, triggering the crisis that will lead to Idi Amin’s Uganda becoming a pariah state and, within a few years, to the young Nick Makoha’s flight from the country. A mysterious writer daubs poetic slogans on the walls of late-’70s New York City, signing them SAMO©. Concerned throughout with flight and falling, the sample and the loop, The New Carthaginians is a poetry collection of staggering originality.

“THE RING AND THE BOOK:” THE RING. ——— TO GEORGE ELIOT. ——— As she, thy Dorothea, loved of thee, Refused to wear in careless ornament The amethysts and emeralds that lent Their charm to other women;—even as she, Turning one day by chance the golden key Of their close casket, started as they sent Swift, glowing rays to greet her, and then bent To lift them in her white hands lovingly;— ——— O great of heart, so calmly dost thou stand In the proud splendor of thy fame, and bring Thy glorious gifts to all the listening land,— Thou canst not greatly care what I may ...

There are five sections in the book: "The Power of Love", "Loss and Grief", "Healing Begins", "Gestation", and "Thriving'. I have included musings and prompts after each section to encourage listeners to write their own journey to happiness and even joy.

My poems, like all poems, are autobiographical reflections on my life's journey and my response to it. They cover a range of about thirty years, during which time, I married, taught many children to understand and love music, raised a son, cared for loved ones and struggled to find my true identity. The overriding theme of these poems is the search for something transcendental and enduring that can lift the mind and soul beyond the inevitable sorrows of life…the eternal beauty of the infinite universe.
