- Summary
- "Togara Muzanenhamo's first book of poems brings to life the worlds of the familiar and the unfamiliar. He takes us from his vivid childhood in Zimbabwe to the Netherlands, Belgium, France and England, making, as he goes, stories that coax meaning out of time and change. A parallel world, partly hidden from the poet, provides a fractured and treacherous reflection where dream discovers a new order. The reality of Spirit Brides is a world of stone, steel and air: murderous and ephemeral. The plains of the veldt in Zimbabwe are as tangible as the bookstore in Antwerp or the bottle-shop in Paris. The language here fills some of the troubling silences of our time, engaging death, violence and, most particularly, love."--BOOK JACKET.
