The New Carthaginians
Book •
Nick Makoha's 'The New Carthaginians' is a poetry collection that weaves together diverse artistic, historical, and cultural threads.
It explores themes ranging from the politics of 1970s Uganda to the myth of Icarus, incorporating elements of the neo-expressionist art movement.
The poems employ symbols and traditions in unexpected ways, transforming familiar concepts into something entirely new.
Through this collection, Makoha delves into personal exile and broader African experiences, using the 'exploded collage' technique to give equal weight to each element.
The collection serves as a mural of African life, inviting readers to reconsider historical narratives and personal identities.
Makoha's work aims to reclaim and reposition the gaze on historical and cultural narratives.
