FREE STATE OF MIND OUT

The well known polished poet and literary activist, Nthabiseng Jah Rose Jafta formally releases her second book later tonight. The book is titled Free State of Mind. Here is the billing: “This will be a day marked in celebration, as this poetry anthology written by revered poets having riveting diversity in culture, background, thoughts and feelings that come together as one. This is 3 books in one. Three soulful women (including the adroit Rita Chihawa) contributed to writing this anthology. Their sections in the book are filled with traces of their mother tongue, Afrikaans and Sesotho, and in their unique ways giving fresh meaning to the English language. Their works have shown, as Napo Masheane puts it: “a reflection that they are somebody s daughter, wife, mother, sister, aunt, partner and more, and in freeing their state of mind, this is how they tell their tales." It will be a great occasion as we will be sharing with you words formulated into poems! This will be a feast, enjoy, unwind, and listen to their stories under the Poetree!”
