African Cities Reader III: Land, Property & Value

Malikhanye by Mxolisi Nyezwa (Deep South)

Product Details

Mxolisi Nyezwa's poems are both violent and tender, with an immediacy of language that strikes the reader like a cry, or a note of music.

Malikhanye is his third book of poems after Song Trials (2000) and New Country (2008).
