Sobre IBD

The Children of Signatures embodies mixed feelings of love and disappointment. While it expresses profound love for Africa, it also portrays the problems facing the continent as self-induced. With flashback into history, it draws parallels with the present state of the continent and challenges Africa to view its problems from a moral mirror.Simple in language, rich in depth and imagery; the collection also touches on other aspects of human life.
