In the Guide signs, poet Jay Wright closes a movement he opened with his first book, The Homecoming singer, in 1971, a movement that takes its design from the ancient people of Mali. Wright continued this theme in subsequent works, gathered in Transfigurations: collected poems [2000], whose eight books represent the eight master signs. The two new books of the Guide signs represent the primordial Nommo twins. All together, these ten books, as the ten earlier signs of taken from the "complete signs of the world," provide the base for the soul and life force given to everything.
