Foreword

In the early 1990s, I was part of an emerging vanguard of Sierra Leonean writers who championed the literary arts as a critical tool for fostering a genuine national and cultural renaissance in our country. This was during a time when the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) was wreaking havoc across the land with its fratricidal war-scarring our shared identity, battering the national spirit, and plunging communities into primeval chaos. Yet, even amid (or perhaps because of) the turmoil, we pressed on, resolute in our collective vision to realize the dream of our founding fathers. After all, we were the generation born in the wake of our country's independence in 1961. Here we were now, fresh out of university, exuding youthful aspirations, confident in our creativity, and animated by a wide-eyed commitment to a craft we believed could serve as a clenched fist of courage and strength to both strike against the encroaching darkness and hold up a torch to illumine the path ahead. It was with this energy that we founded the iconic Falui Poetry Society, a crucible where we honed our skills and forged our distinct voices for the task ahead.
