Poetry readers often interpret the works of poets such as Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou, Robert Frost, Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, and Tupac Shakur. But in the absence of commentary from the authors, interpreters must guess at the meaning. The ones best suited to explain have always been the authors. And the author’s commentary is what makes A Not So Ordinary Book of Poetry: Your Life Has Purpose! unique. It includes encouraging and inspirational backstories of the authors’ poems. 

The book has humor and yet it is sardonic. It is about the human condition in a world less and less human. It mocks and disdains corporatism. Yet it also positions the extraordinary manner people with incalculable difficulties live their lives.

Translating as 'initiation', kumukanda is the name given to the rites a young boy from the Luvale tribe must pass through before he is considered a man. The poems of Kayo Chingonyi's remarkable debut explore this passage: between two worlds, ancestral and contemporary, between the living and the dead, between the gulf of who he is and how he is perceived. Underpinned by a love of music, language and literature, here is a powerful exploration of race, identity and masculinity, celebrating what it means to be British and not British, all at once.

As I journeyed through this part of my soul, I fell in love with myself and gained more passion for what my life could be. Poems of all styles flow freely in this book displaying all aspects and perspectives of my life: history, woes, troubles, circumstances, ideals, spirituality, graciousness and raw self expression. In this book, I provide a window to my soul, a legacy for the world. I hope that one day these poems will be studied by my descendants far and wide. Just like my heroine Chimamanda Ndichie.
