Palm Wine Tapper and The Boy at Jericho

by Nithy Kasa

Palm-Wine Tapper is Nithy Kasa’s debut poetry collection. A country girl who grew up with storytelling around fires in D.R. Congo, the collection is a reflection of that. Poems inspired by the tales from her land, it shares her culture, the joy she finds in it, the memories she hold on to remain close to home. Page poetry with a touch of the contemporary spoken style of her era, she uses evoking descriptive images to bring the scenes to life to those who this reality maybe foreigner. Having moved to Ireland in 2005, she gives a glimpse of the journey, what it took, and what was found when she got here. The title poem was commissioned by Poetry Ireland, with the support of an Arts Council of Ireland Commission Award.
