*Author, bones*
Chenjerai Hove (9 February 1956 – 12 July 2015), was a Zimbabwean poet, novelist and essayist who wrote in both English and Shona. “Modernist in their formal construction, but making extensive use of oral conventions, Hove’s novels offer an intense examination of the psychic and social costs – to the rural population, especially, of the war of liberation in Zimbabwe.” He died on 12 July 2015 while living in exile in Norway, with his death attributed to liver failure
The fight for freedom in Zimbabwe is hauntingly conveyed through the struggle of peasants and their difficulties in rebuilding life after independence. This is an extended prose poem, which won the 1989 Noma Award.
