Kofi Awoonor, born 1935, died Sat., 9/21/2013, in the mall in Nairobi, Kenya, there to represent Ghana in a Pan-African literary celebration. This world-renowned poet described in the following quote the purpose of his writing as it evolved: "Now I write out of my renewed anguish and the crippling distress of my country and my people, of death by guns, and death by disease and malnutrition, of the death of friends whose lives held so much promise, of the chicanery of politics and the men who indulge in them, of the misery of the poor in the world of poverty." " . . . . Goodnight, sweet prince, And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."
