Twice the Size of Sun
Deriving its title from an allusion to a gigantic mushroom-like cloud ominously renting the sky upon which it seems to hang, frozen in many a frame, as the single trustworthy testimony—besides numbers—to the totality of indescribable destruction Oppenheimer’s brainchild meted upon Hiroshima, Twice the Size of Sun’s seed-idea stemmed from the author’s interrogative musings: Why do wars still persist when the world is committed to pursuing peace? Why haven’t the concerned authorities banned all the weapons?
Having been born into—and having lived through—war, the author has naturally gilded the chapbook with war-inspired themes, punctuated with moments of meaningful silence: the way it ruffles the social landscape, the way it makes monsters out of men, and the way it turns men into stones to survive their realities. Each poem, herein, tells the story of South Sudan as it is—or, rather, as a poet sees it.

Jonzing and Juicing
Love is the only universal language that can be found in almost anything. “Jonzing and Juicing” is a collection that explores love in the similitude of tea and coffee. Through this juxtaposition, the chapbook illuminates the beauty and complexity of love, where we can both thirst for more and find fulfilment in the present. Through experience, we jonze for more, to have our fill of our insatiable desires. On the other hand, we juice, with whom we can, when we can, the sweet nectar of life from each moment, savouring every drop.
