The purpose of this collection is to encourage the reader to dramatise poems that reflect issues around the economic, political, and postcolonial elements from my African context. It is assumed that any aspect of the poems might stimulate a dramatic plot or useful for extending embedded metaphors. The reader is also encouraged to freely apply aspects of the poems to various issues in the community. Also, apart from reading the poems, it is anticipated that the elements of conflict in the words and images in the poems may be useful for creating new narratives that activate more change in the community. So, as you dramatically push the limits of your imagination, you may not only be reading for pleasure, but interrogating existing issues and opening doors for new meanings that would bring drama closer to the individuals and collectives in the community. Like folktales in my part of Africa, where words are greatly valued, aspects of these poems will be valuable for creating new meanings, fortifying identities, and generating changes that would remain indelible for years to come.
