    About this ebook

    Tanki Bernard Letjoi is a police officer with the Lesotho Mounted Police Service (LMPS). He has been in service for over twenty three years. His home is a village of Cana, situated in one of the most beautiful valleys ever found in the district of Berea. He is a holder of an Advanced Diploma in Project Management, a Bachelor of Arts in Human Behaviour, as well as a Master’s in Psychotherapy and Counselling, and has also undergone various trainings in HIV and Aids related spectra since 2004. Presently, he works at Katlehong Clinic, Maseru. As much as he enjoys reading, writing and farming, he also enjoys singing, and has recently started composing songs. He was born a Catholic and still one at heart; but he is now one of the followers of Father Petrus Johannes Masango, the Prophet, of St. John’s Apostolic Faith Mission.
    It’s a collection of poems by a man who is spellbound by every particle of the universe: the man who questions nature to provoke reason ... who sees the Mountain Kingdom (Lesotho) as the source of aspiration and exploration.
    The poems are for almost everyone, young and old alike, and have a cross-cultural appeal that can set a stage for every act.
    For the Africans, the poems extend more in terms of borrowing from the coffers of the African natural terrain and general atmosphere.
    The poems can also be informative and scholarly. For instance, they are rich with figures of speech and are varied in terms of style and type: be it odes, epics, sonnets, ballades, etc.
    Outstandingly, the poems are full of inspiration and motivation, and can make one’s day when feeling down and only seeing a mirage of boredom.
    The book transforms thoughts into words.
