Twisted Slogging Apparitions…In the Hazy Glint

Sue Kappa’s art is identified with the jovial conversational tone, a unique trait of the African free verse style, which he takes advantage of to employ a style that is in many ways reflective, frolicking, intimately engaging, gripping, infectious and entertaining. Here he sculpts a unique blend of styles including the vibrant boisterous bearing of the town-crier, with loud rants on the streets, unrestrained, protesting, complaining and relaying messages to the community, somber reflections in the mood of meditation, and ‘hearty rants’ in a cheerful, chatty tone, as he treats such themes as, Neglect, Regret, Self-Conceitedness, Fear, Recklessness, Irresponsibility, Deceit, Anxiety of fathers, Conviviality, Uniqueness of the individual, the importance of Decorous Conduct, Vanity, the Inevitability of Death, Loss, Climate Change, Resignation to Fate, Loneliness, Destitution, Globalization, Sloppiness, Self-aggrandizement, Fortitude, Nature, Insecurity in the conjugal union, among others. The passion of Kappa to dig it deep, to come forth frankly, to present in detail the outline of the narrative is openly at play again in this collection. This collection establishes Kappa as someone you would find difficult to ignore. In this three-in-one volume collection of poems christened Twisted Slogging Apparitions …in the Hazy Glint (Vol. 1-3) following three of his earlier collections; The Song That is Stuck…in My Throat (Vol.1-3), and (Vol. 4-6) and Booming Bursts of Bloated Balloons…at the Baiting Beach (Vol. 1-3) (all by Xlibris), Kappa utilizes this deep-fry style of going deep into subjects treated, to tickle us to laughter and hilarity, and to make us reflect on our personal lives.
