Hakurarwi = We shall not sleep

This new volume of Shona poems is deeply imbued with a sense of traditional values. He probes and juxtaposes the contradictions, confusions, cant and subterfuge that bedevil the behaviour and attitudes of those who do not want to look critically at or play a part in the development of ourselves, nation, or cultures. Evasion and hypocrisy form the butt of his jokes and his challenge to think for ourselves. Also included are the thirty poems translated into English by Charles Mungoshi, one of Zimbabwe's most distinguished writers, with a view to illustrating the nuances of language and its dramatic rendering in poetic form.
