English
Suburban and cosmopolitan, youthful and elderly, formal and experimental… these binaries twist like threads, which meet in this anthology, and interweave on the loom of prosody, forming rich and varied textures. Few can craft poems with the skill of these two artisans from Zimbabwe.
The sights, sounds and smells of the Zimbabwean veldt and suburbia determine the shape, imagery and content of Eppel’s poems. Kizito Muchemwa, Poetry International
Muzanenhamo could almost epitomize the … promising future of African poetry, … a bright, new beginning. Brendan Nicholls, Stand
Eppel has sent roots deep down into the soil. Nick Meihuizen, Scrutiny2
Muzanenhamo can be ‘cool’ but seldom ‘light’. John Greening, The Times Literary Supplement
