Tega Obebeduo
Not Enough Stars in Your Banner and other Poems invites you on a journey with the poet. From the idealistic optimism of his teenage years, to the reality check of life experience. He navigates love, heartbreak, grief, faith, even politics.
The earliest works in this collection are of the poet as a seventeen-year-old in Nigeria. About a decade later, he is in Australia. He eventually settles in the United States of America. Follow his growth and evolution as he traverses these three continents and watch out for slight spelling changes depending on the location of the poet.
The title poem gives an immigrant's perspective of assimilating into a new country and the attendant challenges. 21 Questions and Not too Much to Ask; speak directly to social issues of racial disparity and systemic racism. The Kings Horses, the King's Men delves into present day politics. Nostalgia and Mi Corazon will tug on the heartstrings of romantics and Omni reaches into the depths of the poet's faith.
