| Summary: | Toward a Living Archive of African Poetry collects the introductory essays of the New-Generation African Poetry chapbook box sets written by editors Kwame Dawes and Chris Abani. Celebrating ten years of their dedication to publishing chapbooks by emerging African poets, this volume offers a glimpse into Abani and Dawes's editorial labor and conceptualization of an inclusive African poetic. Here is African poetry as capacious transnational phenomenon, as polyvocal, linguistically layered journey, as intergenerational conversation, as grappling with traditions and futures in the present tense of modernity and much more. |
