Hello,

Ayebia Clarke Publishing, specialist in African and Caribbean literature, has two new books coming out late this month. I would be pleased if you would consider one or both titles for review.

9780992843663.jpgAll the Good Things Around Us

Edited by Ivor Agyeman-Duah

ISBN: 9780992843663

Pub date: September 30, 2016

This collection is an important and timely publication that brings together bright voices comprising budding and accomplished African writers under one roof. The collection is dynamic and engaging in covering different experiences within Africa and its Diaspora. There are stories of harrowing experiences that document human interaction that are emotionally charged and full of pain and sadness. However, there are also several life-affirming narratives throughout the collection that give hope to the possibilities of human bonding, and bear testimony to the ultimate power of human goodness. The writers are skilled artisans who display their dexterity in the way that they deploy language and images to engage their readers’ attention and imagination.

 

9780992843670.jpgMay Their Shadows Never Shrink

Edited by Ivor Agyeman-Duah and Lucy Newlyn

ISBN:

Pub date: September 30, 2016

This important book documents stimulating and engaging reflections and thoughts from international writers and commentators who collectively validate and establish Soyinka as more than deserving of the honor of the Oxford Professorship of Poetry. The coeditors Ivor Agyeman-Duah and Lucy Newlyn campaigned for the election of Soyinka and provide insightful analyses of the campaign while arguing for electoral reform. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of world literature and inclusiveness.

Thank you so much for considering these books for review.

Best Wishes,

Carlie
