Lewis Nkosi reviews the collection of poetry by Guy Butler and Chris Mann. The collection features a multitude of African poets, and has been translated into English for those poets whose language is "Afrikaans." This tension is explored by Nkosi, who suggests, "From the very beginning, English-speaking South Africans have struggled, sometimes fiercely, to forge a new identity out of this double sense of belonging." Nkosi then mentions poets such as Kunene, Mtsbali, Serote, Gwala, and Sepamla as "gathered into this poetic enclosure like Zimbabwean freedom fighters brought to makeshift assembly points."
