In India , English poetry before
independence was a ‘borrowed plume’,
as Dr O. P. Bhatnagar said, and he
added that ‘from syntax to sentiments
everything was so imitative that it
looked like a perfect alien bride.’ But
the post-independence poetry has not
only grown in quantity but also in
quality.--Shaleen Kumar Singh

As for Zimbabwean literature, I find it
fascinating and the writers resilient.
The sad thing is that I have been
privileged to read works that have
never been published due to the
depressed economy and to publishers'
preference for literary material with an
assured secondary school market, that
is literature that can be accommodated
into the high school curriculum that
happens to be the biggest market in
the country. This stifles creativity and
is exasperating to writers who want to
transcend narrow limitations. --Nhamo

Through poetry I work to re-mystify
the world, celebrating chaos, awe, and
wonder. Poetry allows one to write
about the ineffable. De-mystifying and
re-mystifying work together to keep
me whole. --Louie Crew
