A teacher and his learners epitomize their community through poetry. It's an insightful read" - Bernice Loxton, Author.
"Enock Shishenge writes like he lives in thousand bodies. Each body takes shape in each poem, giving the poem a relative and powerful narrative.These are brave an remarkable poes which mirror ghetto's day-to-day sufferings and contentment. Individual voices range from the observation of politics, poverty, education, corruption and celebration of life filled with beauty and loss. Here is where you meet a teacher and his learners, their voices are juxtaposed to create a storm." - Innocent Madzhoni, Author and book reviewer
