Inhaltsangabe

In Zimbabwe, John Eppel and Togara Muzanenhamo epitomise the ideal of the poet dedicated to excellence in form as well as content. There are as many definitions of poetry as there are poets but, as the Merriam-Webster Dictionary usefully explains, poetry is "Writing that formulates a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience in language chosen and arranged to create a specific emotional response through its meaning, sound, and rhythm...." In their arrangement of words and creation of sounds and rhythms, John Eppel and Togara Muzanenhamo promote this classic view of poetry.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

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.
