This is the first published collection of the work of a poet of varied moods and mature reflexions, whose output deserves to be better known. Kobena Eyi Acquah has the knack of gracefully interprellating older African poet friends in such a way as to make the reader aware of their message which were muted before. He reveals an ultimately fine and versatile sensibility.  – Jawa Apronti

The man who died. Who? Where? And above all Why? And How? These passionate, resonant and lucid poems shall, for centuries give wings to our imagination, agitate the barricaded reservoirs of our conscience, cauterise the cancerous debris of our souls, and unfailingly move us to daily look again at our individual hearts and communal hearts with concern, with questions and with wonder, because indeed, My Brothers, Where We Are Going Is Long … All Africa must celebrate with me and with thanks, with joy and with pride, the birth of this Ghanaian poet of great promise, fine sensibility and spiritual beauty: Kobena Eyi Acquah. – Atukwei Okai
