Handsome Jita : Selected Poems
ISBN: 9781869141264 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Vonani Bila is one of South Africa's most incisive and socially-critical poetic voices. His is the eye that refuses to look away. With unfaltering clarity he brings to light the stories of shame, degradation, and despair that lurk in the hidden reaches of the South African national consciousness, and conscience. His poems invoke the shadow world of alternate reality inhabited by the denizens of the social fringes: sex workers, destitute pensioners, victims of violence, both domestic and political, as well as the other social and political discards - the 'inconvenient truths' of a South Africa...

ISBN: 9781869141448 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Makhosazana Xaba's poems are drawn from situations of contemporary South African life and are filled with topical and familiar references. Her poems question the structure of South African society and contemporary racial and gender divisions. With Xaba's obvious gift for words, this is poetry of everyday life, filled with the fresh juice of observant wit, with a twist of lemon on the side. What makes Xaba's voice unique is her genuine originality and strong confidence to think for herself.

A multi-award winner, Niyi Osundare presents the poems in three parts. "Children of the Week" presents poems for each day of the week - positing what are the real names of the children of the week?

Oriki'badan
ISBN: 9789956558889 / Angielski / Miękka / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. ORIKI'BADAN, is an entertaining, revealing, and equally didactic poem in which Doh, through an enchanting metaphorical backdrop, recaptures a memorable era-rich, diverse, challenging, yet gratifying-in the life of a distinguished institution-the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Characteristically bitter about those in power and the socio-political state of affairs on the African continent, this is a rare shot of Doh paying glaring tribute to his alma mater along with the distinguished faculty and student body that gave Ibadan its character during his days there as a student.

Straddling the Mungo: A Book of Poems in English and French
ISBN: 9789956558896 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A sinister form of oppression, linguistic oppression, is the key ingredient in this rich collection of poems written in both the English and the French languages. Highly charged with political overtones, this anthology awakens the conscience of a society in lethargy, one in which even those who lay claim to superiority display gross incompetence in the management of state and societal affairs. Vakunta raises a strong voice against the wanton abuse of the constitutional provision that protects the Cameroon's official bilingual policy. This collection makes a forceful case that official...

Wading the Tide : Poems
ISBN: 9789956558773 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Wading the Tide is an expression of profound emotions touching on a wide range of issues-personal and political-from the birth of the Cameroon nation, her political meandering, until the state of emergency declared on the North West Province in 1992. Accordingly, Doh complains, ridicules, and pays tribute, even as he instructs and guides on timeless matters of life, all in an effort to draw attention to his country's gradual, downward spiral into anomy.

Musings On Ars Poetica. Poetic Reflections on the Poet and Poetry in Verse
ISBN: 9789956558438 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A literary monument erected by a poet for poets with a vision for poetry as a special annunciation and the poet as a seer, spokesperson, recorder, analyst, adjudicator and advocate with poetic vision and poetic understanding. Bill Ndi, the poet has the rare gift of slipping into the self and psyche of his society to empty the dark depths where the treasures of burden and sadness are hidden. He empties and exposes them to the world to see how even personal repression of feelings by far outweighs those imposed throughout History by tyrants. It is above all, his greatest task of filling these...

A Basket of Kola Nuts
ISBN: 9789956558551 / Angielski / Miękka / 86 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bold, original and stimulating in its inspirational insights, A Basket of Kola Nuts explores Cameroon's cultures as remarkable pivots of moral rectitude and such sickening vicious-circles as bribery and corruption. Ethnically grass-rooted and globalizing rather than alarmingly exotic and exclusive, this poetic diction of form-content aims at revitalizing its material contents to sever it from extinction and revamp cultural values that break the patience of silence to question deviation rather than the concrete interface of cultural identities and differences. Uprightly appealing, this poetry...

The African Verses
ISBN: 9781438915500 / Angielski / Miękka / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The African Verses is a collection of 110 inspired poems, all of which tell about the African situation, and the need to urgently do something about it. It is a book that states the fact: Africa is not in the best of shapes; but it does not just state this fact - it goes ahead to prescribe a remedy: we must own the fault for Africa's being like this, and seek to change things. We must not complacently shift blames. The book is of the view that it is about time to begin a revolution for Africa, by Africans themselves. Enough is already more than enough for African mediocrity. Like Obama would...
