"This appears to be the first book-length study of President Senghor's poetry available in English. That fact alone is surprising, when one reflects that the past few years have seen the appearance of studies of Chinua Achebe, Christopher Okigbo, Wole Soyinka (three), Mongo Beti, and Peter Abrahams...Nevertheless, his book has the important merits of being pleasant to read, freshly written, free from any thesis-like fussiness and innocent of obscurity."
