Wena
ISBN: 9780981439815 / Angielski / Miękka / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Thus the blend of Xhosa and English as Ntsiki strives to merge her modern views with cultural roots. She feels strongly the need to reclaim her culture and language and blend them within the context of a cosmopolitan society. She captures the vibe and energy of young South Africa and its...

Africa
ISBN: 9781452827551 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dry, hot, cold, wet, the African continent presents an endless range of physical environments. Cultures abound, and a white man's interaction with Africa defines and inevitably illuminates time and space, specifies the pain and elation in what its environments present.

A Lioness at My Heels
ISBN: 9781920397432 / Angielski / Miękka / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The hemispheric pull between Europe and Africa and the restlessness that results from inhabiting both worlds is reflected in A Lioness at my Heels.

Robin Winckel-Mellish lives in the Netherlands and runs a poetry critique group in Amsterdam. Her work has been published in many international literary...
