Down the Baakens Underworld by Brian Walter
The text reflects on the past, and many of the troubles we face today were wrought in the past. The text is indeed a quest for kindness in the face of our history, one in which the very notion of forgiveness seems nebulous. And so, I am most grateful to Lovedale Press for graciously releasing Tracks and Baakens and allowing me to reimagine them for this phase of their development. Hungry on arrival by Kabelo Mofokeng
My collection embraces different kinds of poetry. Some poems come via my home in Pimville Soweto, the urban sounds and multilingual speech patterns as I move through it. Other poems draw on Sesotho culture and tradition, which still run strongly in my family, and at times, I integrate the different kinds of sounds and associations of Sesotho and English in the same poem. u-Grand, Malume? by Sizakele Nkosi
“u-Grand, Malume? (Zulu slang: are you ok, Uncle?) is dedicated to two uncles who were victims of the antiapartheid struggle. The poems are my way of bringing Jabulani Maswanganye’s spirit back home; he joined Umkhonto weSizwe, went to exile in 1977 and never returned. Zabalaza Republic by Sihle Ntuli
“Zabalaza Republic reiterates the need for my people to find value in our blackness. For my generation, the battle against white supremacy culture has taken on psychological implications echoing sentiments of what Du Bois referred to as double consciousness. My poetry comes from the wreck left behind after ethnic and racial collisions.
