Premier League giants, Liverpool, on Sunday, March 10, returned to winning ways after defeating Burnley 4-2 at Anfield to keep their title hopes alive.

The Reds were desperate to cart away all the three points before their fans after dropping points against rivals, Everton, in their last Premier League clash played at Goodinson Park.

As such they made no mistake against their visitors as they dominated proceedings in the opening exchanges of the encounter.

Be that as it may, the Clarets still took an early lead within just six minutes of game play via Ashley Westwood who beat Alisson with his right-footed corner to make it 1-0.

However, the lead was short lived as Roberto Firmino restored parity for Liverpool in the 19th minute, with the Brazilian tapping home from a yard out.

Sadio Mane made it 2-1 ten minutes later, sweeping a curling effort into the corner beyond Heaton.

In the second half Firmino continued with his attacking heroics that eventually paid of in the 68th minute as he bagged a brace from Burnley's defensive lapse to put the game beyond the visitors.

The hosts however survived a stoppage time scare as Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson strike nearly brought the visitors back to the game.

Mane went on to cap Liverpool's victory with a powerful shot moments later to add to his tally.

Before the Sunday tie, Jurgen Klopp's men had dropped nine points in their eight league matches since the turn of the year.

They remain second on the log with 73 points, just one behind leaders, Manchester City.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
