When the Wanderers Come Home (African Poetry Book)

Described by African scholar and literary critic Chielozona Eze as â€œone of the most prolific African poets of the twenty-first century,â€ Patricia Jabbeh Wesley composed When the Wanderers Come Home during a four-month visit to her homeland of Liberia in 2013. She gives powerful voice to the pain and inner turmoil of aÂ homeland stillÂ reconciling itself in the aftermath of multiple wars and destruction.
Â
Wesley, a native Liberian,Â calls on deeply rooted African motifs and proverbs, utilizing the poetics of both the West and Africa to convey her grief. Autobiographical in nature, the poems highlight the hardships of a diaspora African and the devastation of a country and continent struggling to recover.
Â
When the Wanderers Come HomeÂ is a womanâ€™s story about being an exile, a survivor, an outsider in her own country and is her cry for the Africa that is being lost in wars across the continent, creating more wanderers and world citizens.
