Description: A comprehensive collection of the new and collected works of South Africa's second poet laureate, Keorapetse Kgositsile.
Review Quotes: "[Kgositsile's] poems transcend the superficial definitions which some might attempt to make on the basis of quick-draw ideologies, tactics and postures from yesterday's conferences, and keep their fingers on the pulsations of the Black soul history. That emotional history, with its consequent cry for steadiness and action, for undeviating clear-sightedness, for rejection of death, in its range of reference and feeling, jumps forth in these pages as truly deep Pan-Africanism--the truly joining thing."--George Kent, introduction to The Present is a Dangerous Place to Live
