This fourteen-piece, limited-edition box set—an African Poetry Book Fund (APBF) project—features the work of thirteen new African poets.
The limited-edition box set is a project started in 2014 to ensure the publication of up to a dozen chapbooks every year by African poets through Akashic Books. The series seeks to identify the best poetry written by African poets working today, and it is especially interested in featuring poets who have not yet published their first full-length book of poetry.
The thirteen poets included in this box set are: Selina Nwulu, Ayan M. Omar, Jeremy Teddy Karn, Ajibola Tolase, Hauwa Shaffii Nuhu, Sara Elkamel, Precious Arinze, Lameese Badr, Qutouf Yahia, Edil Hassan, Kolawole Adebayo, Cynthia Amoah, and Saradha Soobrayen New-Generation African Poets: A Chapbook Box Set (Nane)
A wonderful collection, all well worth reading, some transcendent. Kwame Dawes Another fantastic collection of African poets. My copy appears to be missing one, and I’ll have to follow up on that, but the ones included were great.
Update: Akashic Books kindly sent me the missing chapbook, and happy to say the whole collection really is great. Kwame Dawes
