This review of John Pepper Clark's collection of critical essays suggests that Clark's "critical writing is free from academic jargon or heaviness, but does sometimes lack clarity," and that his essay "Themes of African Poetry of English Expression" in particular should "overall...be welcomed as a contribution to the slender body of African literary criticism, and as bringing some illumination to the practice of one of its most talented poets."
