N. M. MHLONGO passionately believes that poetry has the power to mold, shape, inspire, invigorate, and cultivate ideas, and is integral to helping anyone communicate a variety of sentiments that include love, sorrow, appreciation, and praise. In an anthology of thirty poems, Mhlongo explores a variety of significant topics and emotions that allow others to see inside his thought processes and heart as he shares lyrical insight into the value of trust, the pride he feels for his beloved country, the certainty of change in all aspects of life, and the power of love to be patient, kind, and allow us to forget our pain. The Hunters English Poetry shares a collection of verses that offer enlightening perspective into a South African mans vision of his world and those who share it with him. A person may become great through many means, but there is only one measure by which its greatness is recognised and acknowledged. The final measure of greatness of all is the amount and standard the literature and art they have produced. James Weldon Johnson
