Ten South African Poets

Brings together selections of ten outstanding South African poets, to show, in writing drawn from more than four decades, from very different cultures and traditions, a vital and diverse literature. Representing a vision of a pluralistic Africanism the anthology takes the poetry of the region away from the dichotomy which apartheid promoted.
Adam Schwartzman's anthology offers substantial selections of ten outstanding South African poets drawn from more than four decades and from very different traditions and cultures. Far from establishing a canon, the vital and diverse literatures represented here offer a pluralistic vision of Africanism. While politics loom large, the poetries of place, region, country and survival assemble an imaginative vocabulary through which the volatility of South Africa's history emerges.
The editor's introduction examines the radically altered circumstances of the contemporary poet in South Africa and reflects on the cultural and social struggles which have brought and will bring new resources into the poetry of Africa and the English language.
