Author Description

"Dambudzo Marechera is usually remembered as a novelist. However, many people feel that Marechera's real talent was as a writer of poetry. Cemetery of Mind is the first comprehensive collection of his poems, compiled with notes by his biographer, Flora Veit-Wild. The volume contains more than 140 poems, many of which were retrieved after his death and were previously unpublished. It also includes an interview with Marechera on poetry."--BOOK JACKET.
