Finalist for the 2021 Glenna Luschei Prize for African Poetry
This is the very first anthology of Ethiopian poetry in English, packed with all the energy, wit and heartache of a beautiful country and language. From folk and religious poems, warrior boasts, praises of women and kings and modern plumbing; through a flowering of literary poets in the twentieth century; right up to thirty of the most exciting contemporary Amharic poets working both inside and outside the country.
These poems ask what it means to be Ethiopian today, part of a young fast-growing economy, heirs to the one African state which was never colonised, but beset by deep political, ethnic and moral problems.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren
Chris Beckett is a poet and translator based in London. He grew up in Addis Ababa in the 1960s, capital of Haile Selassie’s glamorous barefoot empire (as he writes in the Preface to Ethiopia Boy). Chris has published two enthusiastically reviewed poetry collections from Carcanet, Ethiopia Boy (2013) and Tenderfoot (2020), imitating Ethiopian praise forms to explore issues of love and hunger; also, with Alemu Tebeje, the first ever anthology of Ethiopian Amharic poetry in English, Songs We Learn from Trees (2020). His poem The broom upside down was commended in the 2024 National Poetry Competition and his books as well as individual poems have won or been shortlisted for awards such as the Poetry London Competition, Ted Hughes Award and Glenna Luschei Prize for African Poetry. His poems, reviews and translations have appeared in leading journals like Poetry Review, Wasafiri, PN Review, Words Without Borders, Modern Poetry in Translation, also in the Library of Congress and on BBC radio’s The Verb. Baritone/composer Roderick Williams’ setting, 3 Songs from Ethiopia Boy, was premiered by Chineke! Orchestra in the Southbank Centre in 2019 and repeated as part of their 10th anniversary concert in 2025 and numerous times on BBC Radio 3. Visit Chris Beckett's website.
Alemu Tebeje is an Ethiopian journalist, poet, lyric writer and human rights campaigner who left Ethiopia in the early 1990s and now lives next to Grenfell Tower in London. He runs the website www.debteraw.com and his poems have been published in Amharic, Chinese and English, as well as being projected on buildings in Denmark, Italy, USA and UK by US artist, Jenny Holzer. His first bilingual collection of poems, Greetings to the People of Europe, was published by Tamrat Books in 2018 and includes the script of a sketch commissioned by BBC Radio 4 for a migrant re-imagining of Homer's Odyssey, My Name is Nobody.
