Madiba and Other Poems

This anthology of poetry is first and foremost a tribute to Madiba - Nelson

Mandela, the inspiration for the volume and the subject of the title poem.

Th e collection features poems written at various points in Brandts career as

a writer, cultural analyst and academic. Marie Village Beauty goes back a

long way to his childhood and is a first experiment with Guyanese Creole.

Notably, there is also a tribute to Stephen Lawrence, a young black Briton

who sadly lost his life in terrible circumstances and has been mourned by

the nation ever since.
