The Leopard Season 2

Seasons

This collection consists of fifty poems, divided into ten different seasons. The poems are semiotic representations of thematic and discursive issues that are deeply rooted in contemporary society. They seek to teach, to please and to move the emotions of readers. In terms of teaching, the focus is on themes that are germane to postcolonial/contemporary discourse: governance, power, migration, identity, otherness, hybridity, gender relations, morality, spirituality, the environment, the language question in literature, etc. To achieve these objectives of teaching, pleasing and stirring the emotions of readers, the poetry makes extensive use of linguistic codes and calligrams in order to reach a variety of readers. What is critically peculiar about this collection is the poet’s insightful use of animal and nature imagery to discuss contemporary leitmotifs. His strong attachment to nature and environmental aesthetics makes him stand out as a 21st-century African Romantic poet.
