The work of Zimbabwean poets John Eppel, Julius Chingono and Mgcini Nyoni has been recognized by the inclusion of their work in Fire in the Soul: 100 Poems for Human Rights, published by New Internationalist, with the support of Amnesty International.
Each of the three poets was published last year by Bulawayo publishers ’amaBooks. There are a hundred poems in Fire in the Soul from a hundred different poets from across the world, published from the beginning of the twentieth century until today. Other poets featured in the collection include Ken Saro-Wiwa, Margaret Atwood, Rita Ann Higgins, Luis Enrique Mejía Godoy and Pablo Neruda.
The Director of Amnesty International UK, Kate Allen, said:
“These poems have grown out of horrifying circumstances, yet they succeed in being a heart-warming testament to the resilience and creativity of the human spirit.”
