In Buffalo, New York, Patti is an accomplished young professional who prefers a good book to a romantic dinner and hot-fudge sundaes topped with gossip to solitary hours in front of the TV. Her passionate pursuit of present goals leaves her no time to languish over past losses. But when the family of a friend is plunged into the grips of tragedy, Patti chooses to walk a new path as the nanny of five children who lost their mother. The Five force Patti to face her own history of disappointment in love and abandonment by family. The pain and struggle eventually bring truth, overcoming the lies told to them all. But just as restoration and hope begin to take root in their lives, another tragedy takes from Patti. Will she once again cling to her career or people to give her life value, or will she build her life on peace and freedom found in truth?

A book of two sequences, melded beautifully and seamlessly, both of which are the shape of the poet's consciousness and body in relation to space and place. Globetrotter is an immigrant's paean to the city of Toronto, while Hitler's Children is a poet's struggle with race, otherness and Germany in the spirit of witness, passion, humour, melancholy and understanding.

Teardrops on the Weser navigates a geographical river that runs through northwestern Germany, but also an autobiographical river that's sourced in the Niger River Delta of Amatoritsero Ede's native Nigeria. Thus, his river of letters-of type versus stereotype, which is sectioned alphabetically, echoes African-American poet Langston Hughes' "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," but also shouts out to German poet Rainer Maria Rilke and the martyred, Nigerian poet Ken Saro-Wiwa. But one might also think of Canadian poet Judith Fitzgerald's River (1995) and Brit bard Ted Hughes' River (1983). But the echoes are extras-just glintings upon the poet's original scintillance: "a sharp drawn breath / and I swallow sea water / just as a swallow swoops // across my view and up / to claim the roof / above my head." No mater what: Never can you read the same poem the same way twice. You lunge forward on these rapids; you don't lounge. - George Elliott Clarke 7th Parliamentary Poet Laureate of Canada (2016 & 2017) A masterful evocation of past wrongs through the lens of a seductively peaceful present. Amatoritsero Ede's meditative voice seduces us into a voyeuristic trance on a German river bank. Until we are suddenly awakened to the realisation that the "teardrops" are not for the Weser but for the burden of history carried all the way to Africa and beyond. A compelling read. - Olive Senior Here's poetry at its best. Here's a collection that astounds with the freshness of its imagery and the ripple and flow of its lyricism. Like the river of its title, it runs non-stop through the reader's mind. This is a collection to return to over and over again. - Helon Habila, Award-Wining, novelist and poet.
