The growth of Free State Black Writing (Part 7)
The latest edition of The growth of Free State Black Writing literary series (2008) has just been released.
The series has been published annually since 2002. In recent years the series has been edited by literary critic, Peter Moroe.
The latest edition contains almost ten articles; an excellent essay by Flaxman Qoopane on Free State poets and their books. We are also introduced to poets Serame Makhele (Icebound) and Neo mvubu who is given a lot of attention. Mvubu is interestingly described thus:
“Ms Neo Mvubu has a prodigious empathetic imagination which intermittently serves as a sort of solvent of its own tantalising literary hoard”
There are also articles on Bolaji’s latest work of fiction, Tebogo and the haka (2008). Then theree are essays on author Thabo Mafike among others.
This is a must read for all lovers of our writing!

Congrats on this new edition. I remember I featured in last year’s edition. It is commendable that despite limited funds the guys still keep up the good work

Yes, congratulations. I have not actually seen the book, but I don’t think I’ll figure in it this year. But it’s good to see the likes of Mvubu showing great potential

Very interesting “literary” description of neo Mvubu above. Wonder what it means?!

I have read the book now. Good to see Neo Mvubu in particular being appreciated - but she must remember this is just the beginning for her
