Böcker av Tanella Boni

These poems pry at the complexities of difference—race, religion, gender, nationality—that shape our twenty-first-century geopolitical conditions.

Tanella Boni is a major African poet, and this book, The Future Has an Appointment with the Dawn, is her first full collection to be translated into English. These poems wrestle with the ethnic violence and civil war that dominated life in West Africa's Ivory Coast in the first decade of the new millennium.
