Author Description

"Poems By Me: Book 4" is a collection of Carnita Groves' latest poems. The backdrop for this work is Ghana West Africa, where it began and finished. As a new citizen of Ghana, Carnita's ideas and style take on a unique flavor. In some ways her work reflects her expanded experiences of liberation, cultural embeddedness and new founded nationhood. In other ways, some of the audacity and boldness from her previous three books shines through. While "Poems By Me: Book 4" is by far Carnita's shortest book of poetry--falling just shy of 200 pages--it is no less just as potent as the previous three.
