| Description: |
Formerly Head of English at the University of Malawi, Mapanje was arrested and imprisoned without trial for four years. In these poems of power and unflinching description, he condemns a brutal regime. Today, living in England, he celebrates the hope kept alive by those who fight for human rights. |
| Synopsis: |
Only now, with freedom, can Jack Mapanje speak of his harrowing ordeal in Mikuyu Prison, where 'desperate voices of fractured souls' clamour to be heard. In poems of uncommon power and unflinching description Mapanje condemns a brutal regime. Yet in these poems Mapanje also affirms the enduring love of family and friends and the spirit of his fellow detainees. Today, living in England, he celebrates the hope kept alive by those who fight for human rights. |
