Eric Mwangi has, in a relatively short time, established himself as a poet of international repute. His first collection, Fountains of Life, gave a hint of his potential. Since then his poetry has gone global and won international acclaim. He is the recipient of, among others, the International Poet of Merit Award (2002) confirmed by the International Society of Poets. 

Harvesting Gold is Eric's second collection. The poems herein capture so powerfully the ethos and pathos of life as it explores the whole gamut of human experience — from love to hate, from race to ideology, from politics to human dignity. For those who take its challenges head-on, the poet has an ultimate message: there will be a harvest of gold for them that carry to the end.
