Paperback. Condizione: New. The writers in Washing Windows Too have things on their minds that have exploded into that love-urgency that makes writers write. And, just as it should be, few subjects are off limits. A poet may not always love her inspirational material, but those here revere the act of writing so much - value it so much - that honing their ideas, visions, and insights into poem-shaped, concrete objects has become crucial. It is an honour to witness what has urged these writers to the process of thought, cogitation, sentence, and finally, poem.Many writers use writing as an attempt to solve life's conundrums - to solve themselves. And to understand the self and others better, too, because writing is the best way they know to gain sight into, and survive, the vagaries of life. Perhaps the writers in this anthology are like me - maybe for them, too, writing is their sanity and their joy, their best thinking and settling tool. A poem can be a path into the deepest, purest self, and back out again - through the very act of writing - to a calmer, less frenetic place.Because poets deal with issues that concern them - universal truths, often - certain themes emerge, as they do in all anthologies. In Washing Windows Too, particular groupings of motifs re-occur and these include birth and motherhood; child-love and empty nests; migration and refugees; women's power and agency; bodies, the male gaze, and violence; nature and its beauties; art, creation, and the act of writing itself; uneasy relationships; politics; health and illness; and grief and death. And, because we are living in the early twenty-twenties, the pandemic naturally features in some poems.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. From Here To There is an anthology of 101 poems and short prose exploring themes around African and African diasporic migration and (im)mobility. The collection shows us one another, brothers and sisters without borders, on shared journeys, with intertwined stories, loves, losses, hopes, dreams, joys, and relief. Together, we search for life, belonging, and a future we can call home. The anthology's title, From Here To There, comes from a poem by Thulani Mahlangu, one of 63 voices in this volume, that captures the displacement and longing that accompany the pursuit of a better future. The contributors are from many countries, on the continent, and in the diaspora. Some are well known, others are at the start of their careers. Edited by Nandi Jola and Omobola Osamor, the anthology features contributions from writers who include Yemi Atanda, Zainab M. Hassan, Ugwuja Emmanuel Ifeanyichukwu, Zan V. Johns, Anton Krueger, Octavia McBride-Ahebee, Jenny Mitchell, Tanure Ojaide, Dike Okoro, SuAndi, Furaha Youngblood, and more. From Here To There is the second volume in the Africa Migration Report Poetry Anthology Series, and follows Japa Fire: An Anthology of Poems on African and African Diasporic Migration which was released in 2024.
