Product Description
“By turns soothingly tender or implacably harsh, Hurling Words at Consciousness is an unflinching meditation on our globalized inequities. It is thoughtful and richly rewarding.”--Tejumola Olaniyan, University of Wisconsin-Madison “Mukoma wa Ngugi is a poet of extraordinary expressive gifts. This impressive volume casts a critical yet forgiving eye on closely-observed episodes from life in the United States, with knowing glances towards poets as diverse as Le'opold Se'dar Senghor and Matthew Arnold. The social concerns of an African poet in sympathy with political struggles throughout the Third World here jostle up against and defamiliarize thedetails of North American everyday life, which then suddenly take on new significance.”--Nicholas Brown, University of Illinois at Chicago“While treating the reader to an expansive range of themes - death, war, life, love, nature, human relationships/encounters, personal reflections, art, politics, history, social justice, revolution and others – Mukoma wa Ngugi also succeeds in making a deeply profound, artistic statement.He decorates his intensely reflective utterance with a lacework of images, metaphors and other forms of figurative expression that reveal a keen artist at his craft. With this first volume of poetry, Mukoma wa Ngugi has clearly entered the world of published poets in style!”--Micere Mugo Githae, Syracuse University“Like his late mentors, Frantz Fanon and Walter Rodney, Mukoma is a catalyst, a circuit board, a generator. Through his writings and activism, he expresses the idea within which many will think change, the dream within which many will envision change, and the hope within which many will imagine change.”--Meredith Terreta, LeMoyne College ...

Well, as he brews, so shall he drink
An interesting read although my half century of cork hurling had more to do with cheap burgundy. ... Read more

From the supplier: The incidence of automobile theft at Hughes Aircraft Co.'s headquarters in El Segundo, CA, has been greatly reduced after the adoption by the company's security department of concepts learned from a Neighborhood Watch program. Employees were made more aware of security practices through fliers and meetings. The security system was made more efficient with the installation of closed-circuit television. Police officers' participation in the company's security functions increased as the company's relationship with them further improved.
