Mirrors the disruption of the last two decades in vivid, economical language. His lines are frequently short and explosive. Through many of his poems, a voice pleads for reason and sanity. --Kansas City Star

Alfred Kisubi's narrative and elegiac poems show admirable compassion and adroit statement-making explicitness which I respect.

Clearly his poetry is in the tradition of African prophecy and proclamation, one that includes distinguished voices such as those of Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Dennis Brutus and Okot P'Bitek. -- Andrew Salkey

Alfred Kisubi is the ember about to flame full. This may be the moment before the light of the world's lamp shines full in the face of his special genius. Listen to his voice and you hear the voice of Africa, the voice of man trying to become despite all trouble, an optimism that will not submerge in the presence of the most difficult truths. --Dan Jaffe
