In 2008, Stephen Abara, at that time the  president of the  Glendon African  Network, set out to organize a poetry competition within their university to  further espouse understanding and support for the African people, their  culture, and the challenges that face them. This book, ANTHOLOGY OF AFRICAN POETRY,  is an outgrowth of that poetry competition, bringing the beauty, emotions, and  sentiments of these Africa-inspired poets to a broader audience.

 

In this  charming, informative and highly educative book-Anthology of African  Poetry-written in English and French by the young intellects at Glendon  College, York University, readers will come to realize that one cannot run away  from his or her problems. The past can always be found in the present, and has  proven to be essential to oral tradition and literature.

The poems in  this book are both traditional, free verse and modern. They aim to provide  readers of African descent and non-Africans with an enhanced understanding of  African lifestyle and identity. Opening this book to any page will allow  readers to discover a new poem to treasure or delight in all the poems, one at  a time, to feel the full measure of Africa’s modern and contemporary poetry‘s  vibrancy and abundance and depiction of its people home and abroad through arts  and cultures.
