For almost fifty years Welsh writer Dave Lewis has been fascinated with Africa; the land, the people and its wildlife. Throughout his writing there have always been references to the great continent and so here together in one volume is a small 'selected works' of his poetry with an African influence, taken from his first eight collections. In addition there is one short story and a handful of original black & white artworks created from his many photographs. African proverbs complete the package. Praise for Lewis's work: "Wide-ranging poetry that covers love, landscape and nature. Tender moments, rich, colourful insights and snapshots of a particular time and place jostle with the political and social. A spiritual take on the charisma of Africa by a passionate Welshman whose love for the continent is without question." - Andrew Davies "The poems are sharp, clear and confident. He has a clarity only a real poet possesses." - Brian Patten "A mature and master poet." - Catrin Collier "Dave Lewis is a storyteller: sharply observant, witty and whimsical." - Kathy Miles
