“The poems are weighty, touching, enduring…. Doh … is extremely sensitive and acutely aware of the world in which he lives, the human predicament, the beauty of the weather, the horrors of war and dirty politics, the love of one person for another, the angers, sorrows, pleasures of everyday living…. The dominant mood of the collection is one of outrage, gloom and decadence, the vision apocalyptic.  In Wading the Tide, it can be pointed out that Emmanuel Fru Doh has broken much new ground using very familiar implements.”
