About the Book

This collection is a look back at the body of work by Iyaba Ibo Mandingo. It includes his early work, the works written after his 911 arrest and detainment by homeland security and the latest work following his return to Afrika. "Fu You Tongue Heavy Lakka 56" is Antiguan patois. It is a favorite saying of Iyaba Ibo Mandingo's Great Grandmother, "Rozzy" Guy. It means you have a lot to say. As the grandchild of former enslaved Africans she remembers the elders talking about the heavy plows they used during slavery and the days of shooting hard labor (sharecropping) that followed. The size of each plow was designated by a number stamped on the handle. 56 was the number of the heaviest of them all. It was a perfect way to honor his Eguns (ancestors) and the perfect title for a collection of poetry
About the Author: Iyaba Ibo Mandingo is a storyteller who uses art as his instrument. As an accomplished painter poet, playwright and actor Iyaba has spent the past 26 years sharing his wonderful imagination. A native of Antigua, West Indies, Iyaba came to the United States in 1980 as a young boy. His earliest exposure to the arts were through his mother, a trained singer, and his grandparents, a tailor and a seamstress who first introduced him to colors and patterns, paving a path to the many ways of expression; drawing, painting, sculpting, writing and performing. Iyaba studied fine arts at Southern Connecticut State University and today teaches in and around the tri-state area as a Master Teaching Artist. Iyaba's 1man play "unFRAMED" had an amazing sold out Off-Broadway debut in Spring 2017 at the Elektra Theater NYC after enjoying a successful two-year run off-off Broadway in 2011-12. The play also had a successful run at Harlem Arts Festival 2017 and the Rhode Island Fringe Festival. In 2015 he embarked on his first African tour bringing his 1Man play "unFRAMED," his first novel "Sins of My Fathers" and his poetry to South Africa and Nigeria. Iyaba has authored three chapbooks of poetry, "41 Times," "Amerikkkan Exile" and "40 days & 40 nites of write" and co-produced a CD "Self Portrait." His first novel, "Sins of My Fathers," was released in 2014. "Fu You Tongue Heavy Lakka 56" is his first collection of poetry.
