In When Dreams Die, Ssekajja has firmly lodged another
amethyst into the widening tiara of his oeuvre. The poesy herein
collars life in a veritable death-grip, grappling with the endless
facets of it upon the coal-hot sands of an all-too-palpable angst.
Ronald’s poetry traverses the most poignant bands of life’s
spectrum, boring to unfathomable depths to dredge up, in the
reader, emotional slurries that are thitherto as unacknowledged
as they’re potent.
It is a collection that is at-once mischievous, humorous and
balming.
This is the poet’s best yet!

When Dreams Die
UGX 50,000
In this collection, Ssekajja crystalizes the concept of “the dream”
to underscore the elusiveness of human desire amidst the
chaos of social dysfunction. Deeply rooted in the ‘spoken word’
tradition, his poetry is gently woven on page with a spontaneous
echo of its performative pulse on stage. The poetry tastes with
the sting of hot pepper and flows with the softness of buttered
soup
