Florilegium is a collection of poetry and prose about finding your voice, speaking truth to power, growth and roots.
Born in Leicester, England - the author is an African born in a foreign land. This concoction of mind state, experience and identity have produced a radical mind with a reverence for culture.
'The poet is the primary defender of the people. The painter is the primary historian
- The Orator in his Manifesto of Artist Integrity.
With The Orator's radical mind as his spear, and this body of work as his shield, he speaks up for the working class with conviction. More importantly he represents for the black man by presenting a narrative too often told in the vernacular of others.
Florilegium spells out a cultural narrative forged in the depths of personal experience. Rich with the memoirs of the ancestors and working class peoples past and present. Florilegium speaks truth to the notion that Poetry, really is blood sport.
