RIP Kofi Awoonor

From a link provided by Aruna in the Westgate thread -- I was sadden to learn of the death of a very wise man from Ghana. I've posted a poem of his, The Weaver Bird, on the main poetry forum page. I admired his life.

He died in yesterday's terrorist attack on the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya.

It's a sad loss.

(Magdalen, I wasn't sure if your link was intended to take us there; but, if so, it took me elsewhere)

RIP Kofi Awoonor
