The price of Memory is a collection of 63 poems.
The poems in vivid imagery uncover what happens when the pleasurable thrill of being alive is lost in the pain that settles among the familiar and refuses to say goodbye, as in the poems 'Baggage' and 'Maybe.'
The subject of memory, remembrance and forgetfulness resound throughout the collection, from the private nostalgic experiences in 'Wastelands,' 'The Island,' to the collective 'Africa re-disappointed,' 'Borderless Africa,' and 'Child of the Universe.'
In this poetry, we witness what comes out of keeping dreams in trouser pockets ridden with holes. When we send the eye to look into the future, with shock we discover that the future came.what can take away the pain and cold anger is the indomitable will that purposes to shed off memory like a cloak.
