Description of Kumi Na Moja: New-Generation African Poets: A Chapbook Box Set by Kwame Dawes and Chris Abani
This 11-piece, limited-edition box set—an African Poetry Book Fund (APBF) project—features the work of ten new African poets.
The Limited-Edition Box Set is a project started in 2014 to ensure the publication of up to a dozen chapbooks every year by African poets through Akashic Books. The series seeks to identify the best poetry written by African poets working today, and it is especially interested in featuring poets who have not yet published their first full-length book of poetry.
The ten poets included in this box set are: Abdulkareem Abdulkareem, Hauwa Saleh Abubakar, Aria Deemie, Michael Imossan, Rahma Jimoh, Roseline Anya Okorie, Adesiyan Oluwapelumi, Leano Debra Ranko, Timi Sanni, and Tjizembua Tjikuzu.
