Author Description

This debut collection of poetry is a plea and a gift from two bright young writers, one from the African Diaspora, the other from Africa. Writing of the most salient of issues and evocative of themes in the African experience, Yannick Marshall and Yemi Aganga use their poetry to argue for Pan-African unity. Offering moments of intense political lyricism and deep, often mournful, meditations, Old Friends, We Made This for You is a profound and beautiful symbol of African solidarity and redemption.
