Anthills of the Savannah – Chinua Achebe

The collection seeks to portray themes interwoven in each poem, that bear particular significance to the human experience.
Its focus on man’s relations with his fellow-men, nature and his relation with himself runs over the collection in multiple dimensions and it intends to take a less radical stand on these subjects but attempts to reveal them in a perspective of multiple fiction subjects employed in some of the poems.
The tenor of the collection appreciates man and revolves around the facets of his encounters and how his presence has affected much of what is around him.
Altogether, the collection seeks to take a deeper view on most of the subjects discussed and to do so with reference to the hearts, bodies, minds and souls of men with which they influence everything around them and are influenced likewise by the world around them. It carries a refined delicate undertone throughout to paint such pictures as to evoke genuine understanding of the messages being communicated.
