A Walk on Snow Patrick Mpulubusi

A black young man from Africa, where it is always warm or hot, migrates to Canada. He lands in the city of Edmonton in the middle of winter and it is snowing; something he has never experienced in his life. His body wants to return to Africa like now but his mind tells him to stay on and explore this cold place, which he calls Winter Land. As a new black immigrant, he faces challenges; coping with the cold weather, finding a job, racism and racial discrimination. Feeling lonely and homesick, after many sleepless nights he starts to vent his depressing experiences in humorous poetry.
