Strolling into The Love of Liberty Brought US Together is like entering a motley crowd. The anthology contains many colorful themes, from the ordinary to the elevated, from love poems to death poems. Poems about political corruption and poems about injustice also make the list. While the language is reassuring, some of it gets very hot; brace yourself. Realistically, the reader needs to accept Nvasekie Konneh for who and what he is-a young man determined to express his thoughts, his emotions, his dreams, and his aspirations in the best way he knows how.

Strolling into The Love of Liberty Brought US Together is like entering a motley crowd. The anthology contains many colorful themes, from the ordinary to the elevated, from love poems to death poems. Poems about political corruption and poems about injustice also make the list. While the language is reassuring, some of it gets very hot; brace yourself. Realistically, the reader needs to accept Nvasekie Konneh for who and what he is-a young man determined to express his thoughts, his emotions, his dreams, and his aspirations in the best way he knows how. That is what alerts, thinking human beings are, and ought to be. Expressing thoughts and emotions is at the heart of conversation. Conversations about life should never cease. It is through conversation people discover new ideas which are likely to move communities and nations. Nvasekie Konneh will send readers' conscience and thought process soaring from these poems. Praise for The Love of Liberty Brought Us Together: "For someone who watched Konneh work his way to a point of important visibility, I continue to be awed by the strides he has made. With this present collection of poems, he has demonstrated his storytelling skill and his love for words, some of which he's fond of coining-a reminder of English poet Gerald Hopkins, whose love for words developed at an earlier age often spun him on to fashioning a lot of compound (sometimes weird) words in many of his poems." -Prof. Dr. K. Moses Nagbe, Past President, Liberia Association of Writers (LAW) "Nvasekie Konneh is a product of the Liberian tapestry, the ethno-religious mix that is characteristically the Liberian nation. An offspring of a Mano-Mandingo Liberian ancestry, Konneh relishes our diversity as long as it accommodates every ethnic group. He is especially averse to the ethno-social injustices that are inherent in the Liberian society. The voice in his The Love of Liberty Brought Us Together is invariably a formidable voice of protest-strongly making a case for national inclusion and co-existence. Hear him out!" -Ray Martin Toe, Associate Editor, Sea Breeze magazine for contemporary Liberian writings. "In The Love of Liberty Brought Us Together, Konneh attempts to contribute cogently to the conversation in the pursuit of reconciliation and peaceful coexistence of the peoples of his native Liberia, a nation whose heart still beats with the crevices created by a series of civil crises. Konneh's collection of poems, with wide ranging and divergent themes neatly knitted into a fine tapestry of poetry, is a refl ection of his yearning and belief that Liberia, with all her peoples of divergent views and persuasions, form a fi ne mosaic of a people who choose to live together because the love of liberty has brought them together." -David S. Yadeh Chea, Past President, Liberia Association of Writers (LAW) "These poems excite, provoke and entertain. They are a refl ection of the Liberian reality and of the struggles we are going through. Worth reading." -Vamba Sherif, Author: Bound to Secrecy, and Black Napoleon
