    A Compilation of Evaristo Arineitwe’s Published Poetry
    (International Human Rights Arts Movements, 2023-01-10) Arineitwe, Evaristo
    Abstract The following poems have been written by Arineitwe Evaristo, an upcoming poet from Kabale District, Western Uganda. His first poem is titled “The Return” and was published in an anthology titled Where Broken Hearts Go and Other Poems edited by Egara Kabagi (Etal). Other three poems; “Loud Silence”, “The War Mongers” and “Boiling Point” have been published in Thorns Tears and Treachery, a Collection of Poems, Essays and Artwork on the Sudanese Civil War by The International Human Rights Arts Movement (IHRAM). This poetry writing is basically informed by the political dilemma that grips the African continent after independence (Neo-colonialism), nostalgia or/and reminiscence, the devastating effects of climate change and life in general. Tentatively titled The Last Flicker is yet another collection of poetry that is yet to be published.

    Graphological Deviation: A Defamiliarizing Trope in Timothy Wangusa’s Poetry
    (East African Journal of Arts and Social Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 1, 2023, 2023-01-06) Arineitwe, Evaristo
    This article attempts to examine the use of graphological deviation in Timothy Wangusa’s poetry as a style of foregrounding in Timothy Wangusa’s poetry. It is hoped to fill knowledge gaps in the Wangusaic scholarship as previous studies on Wangusa are on issues of originality of his poetry and conclude that the trajectory of his poetry is mainly Christian, African, and English traditions. The studies conclude that Wangusa’s poetry was greatly influenced by classical and western literary traditions (Alfredo Okello 2005). Some studies are on Wangusa’s novels and short stories, and as such, they focus on aspects like themes and narrative techniques but not graphological deviation. This leaves much to be studied on the variable of graphological deviation in Wangusa’s poetry. This justifies why this research article is worthwhile as it evaluates how Timothy Wangusa employs graphological deviation to create foregrounding. Besides, the researcher used the theory of defamiliarisation proposed by Viktor Shyklovsky throughout the study. The theory emphasises the use of poetic devices, which makes it an apt one as this study is on graphological deviation (which is used as a poetic device to achieve emphasis/foregrounding). The researcher used a textual analysis method and a descriptive research design in an attempt to explicate and make sense of the variable of graphological deviation. The results and findings from the data analysis prove that Wangusa uses graphological deviation to emphasise his message, shock or surprise readers (estrangement) and create mood in his poetry. This study recommends that studies be carried out on Timothy Wangusa’s use of deviation of register.
