The Joy of Reading

Talking of books, here is what Anny Ballardini, a serious poet based in Italy and an editor of the Poets' Corner journal, shared with the members of the new-poetry Listerv:

• A book can change someone's life
• It comes fully charged
• It costs less than a bottle of champagne (the real stuff)
• You can buy 10 hardcover books for the price of an iPhone
• A book is around the same price as a DVD, but the reading experience lasts much longer
• It can make someone laugh
• It never goes out of style
• No assembly is required
• One-stop shopping—your bookstore has the right gift for everyone on your list
• And you can never have too many!

Dear Emmanuel Sigauke,

I do not know how to thank you for your nice words. But_
what I sent to the list is taken from Borzoi News for Random House, an ad to sell books. I anyhow thought it was just perfect, and sent it over.

My best,
and thank you again,
Anny

Roland Mhasvi's Flowers

This is the cover of my copy of Roland Masvi's Flowers of Yesterday, a collection I reviewed in 1996 for The Herald. I was going through my old stuff when I saw this book in my old collection.  As I was flipping through the pages, I saw the cut-out for the original review, which in part reads: "This is a collection of highly esoteric poetry..., which can be charged of what Afrocentric scholars have described as 'piles of esoterica and ostentatious erudition'... The language is to the ordinary reader opaque, the imagery is inaccessible and the symbolism is surprisingly unusual but invitingly novel...real food for scholars."   The review just reminds me of the Chinweizu days, when we, as university students, had rediscovered African literature and its theory. Talking about Afrocentricity had a certain appeal, and we were looking at a lot of writing through the lenses of this newly-discovered Afrocentricity. Looking back, perhaps there was more in Mhasvi's poe

FREEDOM, a poem on South Africa by Afzal Moolla

Freedom The shackles have been cast off. Chains broken. People once squashed, under the jackboot of Apartheid, are free. Free at last! Freedom came on the 27th day in that April, 1994. Freedom from prejudice. From institutionalised racism. From being relegated to second-class citizenship. Freedom came and we danced. We cried. We ululated as we elected our revered Mandela. President Nelson Mandela. Our very own beloved 'Madiba'. Black and white and brown and those in-between, All hues of this rainbow nation, rejoiced as we breathed in the air of freedom and democracy. Today we pause. We remember. We salute. The brave ones whose sacrifices made this day possible, on that 27th day of April, 18 years ago. Today we dance. We sing. We ululate. We cry. Tears of joy and tears of loss. Of remembrance and of forgiveness. Of reconciliation and of memories. Today we pause. We acknowledge the tasks ahead. The hungry. The naked. The destitut
