Rezensionen

"Freshness, passion, spontaneity, sensuousness are not common qualities in poetry today . . . but they are to be found in abundance among African poets of the last few decades."
-The Daily Telegraph, London

"Africa is producing some of the most original and exciting poetry now being written anywhere in the world."
-Edward Blishen
