Arsenal's top four finish suffer another set back after losing 1-0 to Everton at Goodison park

- Arsenal's top four finish suffer major set back after losing 1-0 to Everton on Sunday

- 36-year-old Phil Jagielka scored the only goal that separated the two sides after regulation period at Goodison Park

- The Gunners will now hope to return to winning ways when they face Napoli in their Europa League quarterfinal clash

Arsenal suffered their seventh Premier League defeat following their 1-0 loss to Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday, April 7.

Phil Jagielka scored the only goal that separated the two sides in the 10th minute of the meeting as the Toffees claim maximum points after regulation period.

The 36-year-old simply tapped into the net a loose ball which came to him after a goal-mouth scramble from both sides.

However, the Gunners remain fourth on the Premier League log with just one point behind Tottenham Hotspur despite their slim defeat on Sunday afternoon.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery ringed a couple of changes to his side as Aaron Ramsey and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang both started the match from the bench.

However, the changes couldn't help the visitors avoid defeat at the end of the match as they were unable to find the back of the net before the final whistle sounded.

The Emirates Stadium side are fourth on the table with 63 points after 32 games - and they will hope they can win all their remaining games to qualify for Champions League next season.

Meanwhile, Emery's men will now hope they can return to winning ways when they battle Napoli in their Europa League quarterfinal clash later this week.

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 of African Poetry

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
