Description

This land is our Land book by Ng’ang’a Mbugua

Poetry is a distillation of the heart’s purest musings. It makes the imagination soar on nimble wings and conspires to cloud even the driest eye with the mist of an unashamed teardrop.

This collection – compiled over two decades – represents Ng’ang’a Mbugua’s quest to explore what lies in the nooks of the human soul. It is an invitation to peek under the veil of love and romance, to interrogate patriotism and to test the spirit against the jagged rocks of life. It seeks to question not just the man and what animates him but, with an unflinching gaze, to also explore the land that creates the man.

This Land is Our Land is Mbugua’s eleventh book. The author is a two-time winner of the Wahome Mutahi Literary Prize.

“As you read these poems you feel that for once you are grateful that you have met a poet who can poke fun at the follies of the world.”
