Avant, Gabriel faisait les quatre cents coups avec ses copains dans leur coin de paradis. Et puis l'harmonie familiale s'est disloquée en même temps que son "petit pays", le Burundi, ce bout d'Afrique centrale brutalement malmené par l'Histoire. Plus tard, Gabriel fait revivre un monde à jamais perdu. Les battements de cœur et les souffles coupés, les pensées profondes et les rires déployés, le parfum de citronnelle, les termites les jours d'orage, les jacarandas en fleur.

A sister’s phone call from a war-torn village. A child’s drawing held up to a flickering screen. A homeland that still dares to call itself the Land of Good. A Field Divided: Voices of Sister, Sons, and Homeland is a poetic chronicle of Sudan’s recent war and its long shadows, told through three central poems and the reflections that surround them. In “Omzina: A Wound in Two Tobes”, a brother listens as his sister’s voice crosses miles of dust and silence.

The poems in Leaked Footages carry urgent subjects, ranging from death to disappearance to grief to memory. Not only do the poems fulfill the tradition of witnessing often manifested in contemporary poets such as Garous Abdolmalekian and Ilya Kaminsky, but they extend that tradition by the medium through which they witness: the technical and the technological.

This dazzling debut announces a not-so-new voice: that of the spoken-word poet Tjawangwa Dema. Winner of the Sillerman First Book Prize for African Poets, Dema’s collection, The Careless Seamstress, evokes the national and the subjective while reemphasizing that what is personal is always political. The girls and women in these poems are not mere objects; they speak, labor, and gaze back, with difficulty and consequence. The tropes are familiar, but in their animation they question and move in unexpected ways.

Loving the Dying is a collection of poems on life’s different stages. Set against the backdrop of a conflicted society, Len Verwey looks at a person’s life from youth and growing up to aging and dying, considering what the ineluctable reality of death might imply about how we should think about our lives. These are poems of uncertainty rather than certainty. The more overtly biographical ones end with as many questions as they start with, and there is often sympathy for the outsider or the marginalized voice.

South Africa is a complicated, contradictory, and haunted place. Len Verwey captures the trajectory of life in such a place, dealing with childhood, war, marriage, divorce, and death. He explores the challenges posed by place and history, shared identities, deep embeddedness in the continent, and the legacies of violence and exclusion, as well as beauty. Verwey offers poems that speak of uncertainty, ask questions, and challenge simplistic and scapegoating narratives that become so tempting when living in a society undergoing intense social and economic pressure.

Faydé ha preso la sua decisione. Andrà a Maroua, a servizio nella casa di qualche fulani benestante, come hanno fatto le sue amiche, che tornano al villaggio per le festività ben vestite e cariche di doni per le proprie famiglie. Per sua madre, Kondem, la sola idea è insopportabile. Lei sa bene che vita fanno le domestiche in città, e non vuole che sua figlia sperimenti sulla propria pelle la stessa sofferenza e la stessa umiliazione che l'hanno fatta tornare in montagna giurando: mai più.

In A Delicate Delivery, Ndaba Sibanda masterfully weaves words into powerful poetic tapestries, unveiling the silenced struggles, uncelebrated triumphs, and raw resilience of Africa's unsung heroes. With evocative imagery and poignant rhythm, these poems echo the unheeded cries of history, the weight of injustice, and the enduring spirit of those who fought, suffered, and dreamed of a better tomorrow.

W.E.B. Du Bois, who drew from his own experiences as an African-American living in American society, explores the concept of "double-consciousness"—a term he uses to describe living as an African-American and having a "sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others." With Du Bois' examination of Black life in post-Civil War America, his explanation of the meaning of emancipation and its effect, and his views on the roles of the black leaders of his time, The Souls of Black Folk is one of the important early works in the field of sociology.

The most novel collection of unknown insights about Africa's consumer markets.

Echoes of Military Souls is a power-packed package of art that promises to keep you on the edge of your seat. It is a roller coaster stream of emotion.

This collection does not aim to heal anyone who listens to it, but instead help them confront their own healing. Rather than sugar-coated bullets that enter you lightly, these poems are designed to hurt.
