Best New African Poets 2016 Anthology by R. Mwanaka,Daniel da Pdf

Best New African Poets 2016 Anthology has 251 pieces from 131 poets and artists in 7 languages (English, Portuguese, French, Afrikaans, Shona, Yoruba and Kiswahili) from 24 African countries and Diasporas, with South African and Angolan poets dominating the list. We also have a healthy number of poets from Uganda, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Moambique, Ghana, and Nigeria, as usual. The nationalist sense is the one that most predominates with its pink, blue and gray tints that are expressed in parallel with existentialist perspectives that in turn go hand in hand with love, desire, hankering, joy, sensuality that transports us to epic, lyrical, utopian contexts without being lost in fantasy, they are artistic lines sometimes with traditional and sometimes more innovative touches. However, in contrast and to a lesser extent, almost as if there were resistant and with restraint we also find desolation, pain, negation that can be so sweet or so bitter that it allows the imagination to stop in a lament or end in resignation.

Best "New" African Poets 2018 Anthology by Mwanaka, Tendai Rinos,Mala, Nsah Pdf

Best “New” African Poets 2018 Anthology follows volumes in 2017, 2016 and 2015. In this fourth volume of these continent-wide anthologies of African poetry we have work from 154 African poets from over 30 African countries and the African Diasporas. There are poems in English, French, Portuguese, Sepedi, Shona, Yoruba, and Asante Twi languages. In 2018 there was a notable increase in the number of entries with memorable novelties regarding poetic experimentation: some of the poets have daringly sliced up words playing around with the spatial and structural patterns of their texts on paper. This may be described as both textual and visual poetry. Reading the poems becomes a journey with many paths, where the reader walks according to poetic rhythms and the hesitating breaks of action verbs and enjambments.

Best "New" African Poets 2023 Anthology by Tendai Mwanaka,Hélder Simbad Pdf

From 2015 to 2023 we have been able to issue out, yearly, an anthology of Africa poets, through 9 years of publishing this beautiful anthology of the best contemporary African poets and in the process we have published and archived over 1000 African poets. And this year without fail we offer you Best New African Poets 2023 Anthology which comprises several dozens of African poets from the Portuguese, English and French speaking African countries. We expect the anthology to continue into another decade but also to seed into other forms of poetic expressions starting from next year. We intend to work on Best New African Poets International Festival of the Arts, an event that will bring together all these poets we have been able to publish the last 9 years to showcase their talent in a week of festivities in Harare, Zimbabwe. This year's anthology has poems that cover the usual gamut of issues: love, unrequited feelings, relationships, death, poetry making, politics, and we were excited to see Mashigo tackling the ongoing Israel/Hamas war, and the ill-treatment of the Palestinian people for generations under the Israeli government; culture, religion, spirituality, identity, belonging, memory, individuality and all sorts of other existential dilemmas that the young African poets deal with day to day.

Save Africa by David Gretch Pdf

Africa, Your righteous disorders Break my heart ... — Kabedoopong Piddo Ddibe’st, Uganda “This Anthology exposes both the sorry-state and unspoken nature of Africa, and Her people, in this recent time. A masterpiece that wakes up an African to have a conscious conscience.” –Udekwe Chikadibia Enugu State, Nigeria As pollution and global warming threaten the balance of life on our planet, the beautiful continent of Africa is in crisis. In the wake of greedy corporations mining valuable natural resources, and through the exchange of rights to such resources, large regions of Africa are under a terrible reign of social injustice, with atrocities including ritualistic rape and murder, artificial war, induced famine and extreme political corruption. In an anthology created to illuminate these atrocities, twenty-one African poets share over one hundred poems that highlight the problems plaguing their homeland. Through poignant verse, these poets offer often shocking insight into a land known for its generosity of spirit and warmth of its people who bravely stand strong in the face of unthinkable tragedy.
