Join Jacana Media and Poetry Africa this
evening for the launch of the very first English/Zulu edition of Mbuyiseni
Oswald Mtshali’s Sounds of a Cowhide Drum
(Imisindo Yesigubhu Sesikhumba Senkomo)
Originally published in 1971 by Lionel
Abrahams’ Renoster Books, it quickly became a classic but has been unavailable
for many years. The new edition of this South African classic is published by Jacana
Media and carries a simultaneous isiZulu translation of the poems, and a new
foreword by Nadine Gordimer.
The launch will take place on the
Wellington Tavern Deck at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre at 18h30 for 18h45 this
evening (October 17).
