Bad news guys.Poet gone home...
Chinua Achebe died.
'Father..
I dreamt I found an egg
And I carried it to you..
You, smiling,broke it and it was empty..
I gasped at the magic and asked why it was empty
and You said
"But child..now you are here."
For Chinua Achebe..
Hero.

Lovely quote, Anthony.
My current read is Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who was no doubt influenced by him. Ashamed to say I have not read him, but reading his obit. inspired me to order Things Fall Apart.
