Summary: This book uses Systemic Functional Linguistics to analyze the poetry of Edwin Thumboo, showing how grammar and metaphor interact to create meaning. It examines the poet’s layered, intricate language use, shaped by his multilingual and multicultural background. Emphasizing the meaning-making power of language, the study demonstrates how functional linguistic analysis helps explain Thumboo’s distinctive poetic technique and offers insights valuable to scholars of poetry, stylistics, and Commonwealth literature. http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/69
