Scrolls of the Living Night is a poem 348 pages long, or rather a story told in verse, divided into three books. It is an epic poem that explores the conflicts between good and evil. It is written in a style and form that is reminiscent of Derek Walcott's Omeros. Kwakye's evocative blend of detail, memory, stories, characters and lyrical commentary makes this book an ambitious project that will have a lasting impact on the reader. Traditional and modern Ghanaian/African culture clash in this courageous adventure rich with memorable characters, myths, places and sophisticated language.
