Pages: 140

This collection of poetry, sets out, with intent, to create unique form. Likening its five-line composition with the five-string traditional musical instrument, it lends significant history and concept from the Geez language which is a dead language and used only mainly in the orthodox churches of Eritrea and Ethiopia. Divided into seven chapters all the poems are translated into English by the poet himself.
