Synopsis

Ghetto Diary and Other Poems is an anthology with contributions from 17 Zimbabwean men and women. The poets articulate not only Zimbabwean themes, but African experiences in a global world. The poems are informed by Africa's history of slavery, colonial domination and the fight for independence, as well as institutional relations.

Review

This book has well crafted and thought out lines with staying power. This is an effortless book that furtively hooks you onto all those little things that constitute the essence of becoming Zimbabwean. - Memory Chirere, kwaChirere
