African Classics Series

Each year, the APBF solicits and edits a new “New and Selected” volume or a “Collected Works” volume by a major living African poet of influence, in recognition and celebration of this poet’s body of work and contribution to African and world literature. This series is published by the University of Nebraska Press.
