Tano: New-Generation African Poets: A Chapbook Box Set - Hardcover
$34.95
by Chris Abani (Author), Kwame Dawes (Author)
"Tano is exquisitely composed and designed. This is a boxed set to be collected--and coveted." --World Literature Today
The limited-edition box set is an annual project started in 2014 to ensure the publication of up to a dozen chapbooks 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: Leila Chatti, Saddiq Dzukogi, Amanda Holiday, Omotara James, Yalie Kamara, Rasaq Malik, Umniya Najaer, Kechi Nomu, Romeo Oriogun, Henk Rossouw, and Alexis Teyie.
