Poetry is a very deep genre of literature, a major reason why people, both readers and publishers either do not benefit the best from it or avoid it remarkably. This being the reason that I as a writer have fashioned or provided a column title 'aid to the reader'.is among all other beneficial things the reason that left me naming this collection of poems 'style of the drums' a title that merely presents the surface beauty of this deep genre of literature. poetry. leaving readers with both the poetry and their ability to mine out for themselves the best from it.in style of the drums is a number poems with very many themes, attending to such very important needs of the reader that reach out to areas as entertainment, recording history and social reforms, presented in a reading-worthy writing skill.as said earlier , it is shielded in a title that lets you expect anything, yet showcasing a beauty that is only beautiful enough to be called literary beauty. Modern African writing, have seen many triumphant authors in its prose aspects, from Helon Habila to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie to Sierra Leonean author Ishmael Beah. The gap in poetry which beckons should be heard.
