New=Generation African Poets
A Chapbook Box Set
Edited by Kwame Dawes & Chris Abani
Akashic Books
FORTHCOMING JULY 28, 2020:
This twelve-piece, limited-edition box set—an African Poetry Book Fund
(APBF) project—features the work of eleven 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 eleven poets included in this box set are: Michelle
Angwenyi, Afua Ansong, Adedayo Agarau, Fatima Camara, Sadia Hassan,
Safia Jama, Henneh Kyereh Kwaku, Nadra Mabrouk, Nkateko Masinga, Jamila
Osman, and Tryphena Yeboah.
