Drumvoices Revue: A Confluence of Literary, Cultural & Vision Arts
The current issue of DRUMVOICES REVUE commemorates the 50th anniversary of the publication of Chinua Achebe’s “Things Fall Apart.” I taught his novel as a Peace Corps teacher in Ghana and Botswana. I meant a lot to me then and I still consider it one of the world’s masterpieces.
Eugene Redmond, Poet Laureate of East St. Louis says that he agrees with my assessment of Achebe. The Spring issue of DRUM VOICES features a photo collage in homage for Achebe and his work;
