Praise

In a crucial way Modjaji has created the poets in this anthology simply by publishing them in the first place. Poetry by definition needs to be out in the world. Many of the volumes of poems Modjaji has published were ‘debut’ volumes, and then sometimes second or third volumes (an even harder thing for a poet to accomplish if she has no sense of where her poems might go).
