Hills, Valleys & Echoes is a collection of ninety-seven poems (five are in Fula and six are in Krio). This is Walon-Jalloh's third poetry collection. The collection takes the reader on a whirlwind journey of emotions through hill tops, over mountains and across valleys into continents. He captures moments both near and far, past and present and sublime and funny in a poetic manner in order to inspire, educate, entertain and protest. He controls his diction to fit the moment as evident in Monday which paints a picture of a broken people during the August 14th 2017 Flood of Mount Sugar Loaf in Freetown. He further engages with tragedy in Noisy Silence and That Bridge and That River. However in Homecoming we sense reflection and hope whereas in Bio-Balm and Possessive Benevolence his pen assumes the celebratory mode to usher in the new dispensation after the 2018 elections.
