I remember in those days when this man came to our school to introduce one of his books to us to be read. Life like a mist. |

One of the best literary gems to ever step foot in this country. My dad made me fall with his poems and works because of his books he brought back home. Rest in peace sir. The good go while the terribly evil remain to continue causing us havoc. 1 Like |

Rest in peace to a great iconic literary giant. I read some of his books those days while in secondary school. Rest on JP Clarke. |
