African Journal of New Poetry No. 5

Appropriately tagged “Rhythms of Conflict,” this fifth edition of the 2008 Journal of New Poetry is of great relevance in the dynamics of poetry of the twenty-first century. Dedicated to Jack Mapanje, the distinguished Malawian poet and scholar, the NP No. 5 hopes to challenge readers of African poetry with the truth of the aliveness of African art to the political and social concerns of the century.
