The Poetry of Africa:An Introduction for Students concentrates on the skills needed to interpret poetry as distinct from other kinds of text. It gives insights into how a poem works, and shows how to explain and present these insights in written form. John Haynes provides in-depth studies of Okot p'Bitek's 'Song of Lawino', Kofi Awoonor's 'Songs of Sorrow', M.W. Serote's 'Jo'burg City', Amin Kassam's 'Neone', W.T. Zingani's 'African Mfiti Flight No 1', Mazisi Kunene's 'Nozizwe', and a number of traditional African poems translated into English. He goes on to look at these poems in a wider cultural and academic context. John Haynes stresses the need for us to use our own imaginations in interpreting poetry, so that reading it becomes enjoyable and interesting.
