Zimbolicious Poetry: Anthology of Zimbabwean Poets

We are grateful to the poets who submitted their work, and much more grateful to those who made it into this anthology. Our intention was to bring together Zimbabwean poets so that we will start the dialogue, conversations, arguments..., about our world through poetry, thus in the anthology this is what we tried to encourage as editors, where poets were coming in with topics they wanted to cover; arguing, conversing, crystallizing, objecting, and developing each argument but never settling for one viewpoint. Our intention was to open out to every view on any topic tackled by the poets themselves.

Zimbolicious poetry has 89 poems and translations in Shona, English, Tonga, and Chibarwe from 32 poets and translators, tackling issues to do with poetry, writing in general, art, place, identity, tradition, struggle, collective understanding, individual, human rights and love.

Knowing how beautiful Zimbabwean poetry is always, this is indeed a delicious dish!
