"e;Akwasi Aidoo's Rhythms of Dignity is a remarkable, bold first collection. There is a rich diversity in range of form, expressiveness, experience, and passion. Reading through this work is a journey through the undercurrents of experience that reflect on living through the charged realities of the 'post-colonial' decades of our modern African not only with an intimate Pan-African awareness of history but also with a poignant sensibility of brotherhood, sisterhood and belonging.

"e;Akwasi Aidoo's Rhythms of Dignity is a remarkable, bold first collection. There is a rich diversity in range of form, expressiveness, experience, and passion. Reading through this work is a journey through the undercurrents of experience that reflect on living through the charged realities of the 'post-colonial' decades of our modern African not only with an intimate Pan-African awareness of history but also with a poignant sensibility of brotherhood, sisterhood and belonging. Clearly evocative of the age the poet has lived through, these poems have both a sharp clear eye on history, and an abiding tender trust in human relationships."e; - Abena P.A. Busia, professor of literature, poet, and Ghanaian ambassador to Brazil. "e;Akwasi Aidoo weaves together in warm and passionate verses our timeless dreams of freedom, dignity and humanity which shall neither be deferred nor deterred regardless of what they say and what their SAPs ('sanitize African passion'!) and Davos prescribe. Enjoy the dreams of 'life and joy' that is the Rhythms of Dignity. Akwasi is one of Africa's foremost poets. Akwasi, you make us proud as Africans and as a part of humanity in what you sing and what you pen. May your Rhythms continue to inspire us and light the road to freedom."e; - Issa Shivji, Emeritus Professor, University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania."e;In this collection of poems covering Africa, meditation and memory and everything in between, we hear Akwasi Aidoo's voice mingled with the voices of our ancestors, our past and our future, calling to us to reflect as 'life streaming hurriedly to us'. Woven within the lyricism of the words, the poems are a political and social commentary on life that evoke Langston Hughes and reminds us of the stories we tell and are told about us. Buy it, read it and be discomfited and comforted in turn."e; - Ayisha Osori, author of Love Does Not Win Elections.
