Irksome Clouds is a book of African verse that approaches poetry with an open mind. Although the title of the book sounds like it will address the problems of global warming, it is just a book of free verse without the actual theme. Irksome Clouds is the poetry that endeavors to cherish the beauty of the South African national heritage and also questions whether the inter-racial post apartheid rainbow nation is ideal. The book also tries to mock the elite that enjoys the fruits of freedom and forgets the masses that elevated them to that upper stratum.
