Gathered Seams: A collection of 19 poems from southern African women

Gathered Seams brings together nineteen poems from poets from Namibia, to Botswana, Zimbabwe, Malawi and South Africa. Their voices move between languages and landscapes, from kraals to mine dumps, carrying grandmothers' hands and mothers' absences, wooden spoons and stillborn lullabies. They hold violence alongside survival, grief alongside magwinyas, refusing to reduce anyone to only their trauma. Halala to nineteen years of Modjaji Books making space for women's voices.
