A new edition of the definitive collection of modern poetry from
Africa
"Poetry, always foremost of the arts in traditional Africa,"
writes Gerald Moore, "has continued to compete for primacy against
the newer forms of prose fiction and theatre drama." Now revised
and expanded, this comprehensive anthology features the work of
ninety-nine poets from twenty- seven countries; thirty-one of the
poets appear here for the first time. War songs, satires, and
political protests jostle with poems about love, nature, and the
surprises of life, offering a rich and wide-ranging body of
creative work.
