A Significant and Long Overdue Initiative- Mathew Shenoda

APBF Staff July 3, 2012

“The variances and nuances of poetry across the African continent are undeniable, and, unfortunately, largely unknown in the west. The African Poetry Book Series will notably impact the exposure of this work to readers in the United States and beyond. This is a significant and long overdue initiative that will assuredly change the face of literature throughout the English speaking world.”
