About this item

by Rohanna Ssanyu (Author)

The Marabou Who Crossed the Sea follows a second-generation daughter as she seeks to understand her mother and, consequently, the ugliness of the marabou. Written by Ugandan-American poet and teacher, Rohanna Ssanyu, the collection examines the dispersal of a family and the fate of its children. Through the busy streets of the capital, in airmail envelopes, and on big crooked letters, The Marabou Who Crossed the Sea finds beauty in a present viewed through bloodshot eyes. The stork and its counterpart, the crane, with its crown of gold sequins and tail of button strings, find solace.
