-Preface: “…broad range of topics, and political points of view, as well as a diversity of racial and cultural ethnicity” p 11.

This collection begins with pre-colonial oral literature and advances by decade of birth of the poets.

I absolutely loved this anthology. There were short autobiographies of the twenty seven poets included and a short history of Mozambique in general.

It includes poems by the well known author [[Mia Couto]] and his father, [[Fernando Couto]], a well-known poet.

This collection of over 130 poems, by a variety of authors and political views was very helpful to me in not only learning the poetry traditions but the very essence of the country.

This book is bilingual, with the Portuguese on one side and the English on the facing page.… (altro)
