Poet Tiisetso Thiba from South Africa is well chuffed in the New Year as his poem, FOR MALOME has been published in the latest edition of Ebedi Review, which is brought out by the Ebedi International Writers Residency in Nigeria.
Thiba says: "Ebedi Review is an excellent literary
journal... I was very pleased to read essays or articles on outstanding African
writers like Wole Soyinka, Elechi Amadi, and Wale Okediran. There's lots of interesting,
informative stuff on, or by other wordsmiths like Ayobami Adebayo, Jumoke
Verisimo, Obinna Udenwe (co-editor), Chinyere Obi-Obasi, Maryam Yusuf Magaji,
and of course Tendai Huchu. The latest
edition of Ebedi Review is a Collector's item,"
The contribution of Tiisetso Thiba, which is a lengthy poem is
spread across the entirety of page 61. This is what Ebedi Review writes as
regards Mr Thiba's bio-data: "Tiisetso M Thiba was born and raised in the
village of Ganyesa, North West Province in South Africa. His poems were first published
in Free State News newspaper and afterwards published in NC Times, newspaper in
Kimberley and other journals. His essays on literature were published in the
book, Glimpses into African Literature (2015) edited by I. M Soqaga. In October
2015 Thiba published his debut poetry book, Let's Take a Walk Mama"
Indeed my year starts with a high note, and simply this extinguish that the year 2017 will be a year of great and beautiful things only. Asante Sana
