For years and years, I wasn't able to sleep for more than a couple of hours. You get used to it, but that's not necessarily a good thing. When you suffer from insomnia, everything becomes the same, like it's groundhog day, every day. Get up, go to work, come home, consume microwave dinners while re-watching a selection from my personal movie collection, and try to get a few hours sleep before work the next day. Seems normal enough, but, the funny thing is, I have no memory of applying for or even accepting my job. When did I do that..? I guess it doesn't matter - I do telephone technical support for a computer company. And then, all of a sudden, he showed up. John. Well... JOHN DOE, according to the 'business card' he gave me. After that, everything changed, and I do mean everything. My entire life was turned upside down, and I do mean that quite literally. Down under, I met a beautiful, sugar pink-haired guitarist and her brilliant, blue pet. An ebony-haired, Indian goddess painting images of other worlds, who managed to paint a portrait of me before she'd ever seen what I looked like with her own two eyes. A century-old psychologist who believed that I could be made whole again. A Japanese assassin who turned his back on family tradition in order to lead a truly noble life. A selfless and courageous husband and wife, and their lovely daughter, who turned down the opportunity to be King, Queen, and Princess, respectively. What was it that they could possibly have seen in a guy like me? If there's one thing I've learned on this journey touching on all manner of life's many aspects; family, philosophy, psychology, economics, religion, music, romance, fashion, technology, politics, and even agriculture; is that when a woman chooses you as her mate, whether for a night or for life, there's practically no stopping her from getting what she wants - not that I ever wanted to stop her. The attraction of a female is the most powerful force in the universe. After having found the way out, I will find the way back. There's always another way. I'll do whatever it takes to get back to her. Anyone who stands between me and my love will be struck down, not by my hand, but by Death from the shadows, and there's nothing that you, or I, for that matter, can do to put a stop to it. Nothing can stop what's coming...

Best New African Poets 2022 Anthology has poems, poem pieces, and reviews from over 100 poets from at least 30 African countries writing in English, Portuguese, French, Kiswahili and many other African languages. Idegwu, looks at how religion is used as a tool to make black Africans be slaves in the Middle East, how the black people, even though of the same religion with their Arabic brothers, are debased racially by their brothers. Sulaiman, Matshoba, and Munengwa want poetry to take us to the past and future, to open up great worlds of feeling and song, Sulaiman pinpoints ages in art movements from Chaucer to postmodernism. Chuma uses bible hero stories and characters to build the love characters in his poems whilst Muchirahondo uses place names, eg Jezebel, Stockholm, Phoenix, Delilah, and as tangent, Kassim draws back to old English masters like Austeen to dissect what love meant before the Romantic Movement, saying, "Love was meeting a stranger for the first time. And vowing to make life a service to each other." Not to forget the Nigerians with the harmattan wind, the iroko tree metaphors, the dearth of democracy on the continent, some accruing into wars eg Sierra Leone war aptly depicted in Kamara's poems..., it is a pot pourri of views, opinions, themes, styles....The beauty of the anthology is seeing as many new voices as keeping the old voices we started with. Eppel, Mhondera, Swanson, Ojonugwa, and Mwanaka were in our beginning anthology, 8 years ago, and they are still there, practising poetry.

The visual pieces have determined the scope of this anthology as much as the textual ones. Zimbolicious Anthology 7, therefore, showcases the many images of Zimbabwe and its people through the eyes of its artists.Tendai Rinos Mwanaka is a Zimbabwean publisher and owner of Mwanaka Media and Publishing; an editor, mentor, thinker, literary artist, visual artist and musical artist with 23 individual books and at least 25 curated and edited anthologies published in Zimbabwe, Cameroon, Northern Ireland, UK, and USA.Tanaka Chidora is a literary scholar with a PhD in Literature from the University of the Free State in South Africa (2018).
