Great Collection
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I bought this as a gift for someone, and I was so happy to have come upon it. It's not easy finding African poetry in my small college town, so this was a real catch. The selection is great too, with poetry from female writers who come from Nigeria, Senegal, Ethiopia, Malawi, D.R. of Congo and more.
Love this book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I borrowed this book from the libraryy over 17 years ago, and loved it. It is a collection of poetry by women from various countries on the continent of Africa. It reflects the struggles and relationships of the people of those countries from the perspective of a woman.
