Mosaic: A Collection of Poems

By Iadalang Pyngrope

The poems in Mosaic portray a sensitive individual responding to her surroundings, recollecting past memories of a world gone by, a mind disturbed and troubled by contemporary developments and preoccupied with problems of the future. There is variety here in thought and word. The subject matter ranges from missionaries to biblical personages and the dilemma of believing, climate change to transformation of landscape, simple emotions to complex processes of thinking.

In this collection, every reader will find a poem or poems that will speak and connect to the soul, poems that can be identified with and situations that form a part of existence.

When you read these poems you will encounter Thomas Jones, the Welsh missionary, Samson and Delilah, Malala, the long-suffering Job and other entities.

The book also speaks of tribal identity and the awakening into maturity of the author herself. The reading of this collection will certainly enrich one's experience.
