Togara Muzanenhamo, John Eppel

Description

Suburban and cosmopolitan, youthful and elderly, formal and experimental� these binaries twist like threads which meet in this anthology, and interweave on the loom of prosody, forming rich and varied textures, Few can craft poems with the skill of these two artisans from Zimbabwe.
