As I have been through the horrible rebel war in my native Koidu Town in Sierra Leone, all my poems(except one) are based on my experiences as an internally displaced person and a refugee -since July 31st, 1997- in Guinea(Conakry), Senegal and The Gambia.
Also, I have worked variously as a Classroom teacher , Peace Builder, Development Worker in schools and with multinational civil society organisations in Guinea and The Gambia.
My poems are particularly aimed at discussing themes ranging from peace vs war/combativeness against a background of poverty, corruption,etc; love vs hate ;Africa's beauty; modernity vs tradition, grief/pains/strife associated with the hardhitting realities of the life of a refugee, who has been forced out of the peace or tranquility of his/her the community once known as "home".

Writers Digest has both a magazine and a website with tremendous legitimate resources and markets for you to research. Stay away from poetry.com...that is a scam site that will accept your work for publication in an anthology and then try to sell you the anthology. Also try small arts magazines and look into the poetry contests. Your work sounds very interesting. Good luck.
