Description

African Urban Echoes is a triumph-SUSANNA SACKS, Howard University

A delicious offering on the poetic imagination of African cities.In this anthology, the African city is a labyrinth of processual images and poetic sounds, weaving tapestries of human and extra-human vitalities and sensorium. — CAJETAN IHEKA, Yale University

These poems revere placemaking while recognizing that people are restless beings. Proving poets to be keen interpreters of urban lifeworlds, this anthology rightly underscores African poets’ right to the city.-NATHAN SUHR-SYTSMA, Emory University

African Urban Echoes is a righteous journey through the city with its poets. It is a walk filled with delight and frustration and goodness and apt observation of corners of the African continent sometimes adored and sometimes despised.—UPILE CHISALA, Malawian Poet
