MBABANE – The beauty of poetry is finally finding its feat in Swaziland alongside the exquisite art that abounds in the country.
Swazi poet, The Last Man has written and published a book titled “Akangacitfwa Lamanti.”


The book is a compilation of his poems, short stories and short analysis essays. It is in siSwati language and it displays the beauty of the language as used in the poems and stories.


The subject matter of the book is that people should not give up in life as life has many among other communication instruments.
Real name Mlungisi Radebe, the talented poet said, “Finishing this book has given me the best feeling ever.”


He said the reason he wrote the book was for those people who were not able to attend his shows where he recited his poems so that they may also be able to access his work as well. 
“Even those who do take part in my shows they may also want to sometimes read on their own, it will give them the chance to read at their own pace and rhythm.”


The poems in the book have been performed in various platforms where the poet has performed in the past four years. He also mentioned, “My poems are a reflection of who I am where I come from and sometimes they tell the direction I am taking. It does not speak only of me, but also to everyone any everything.”


The Last Man also highlighted that the contents of the book will be performed during the launch on November 8, 2014.
The stories will be dramatised and poems recited. He also pointed out that the book has poetic experience, it builds up to an overall message hence every poem was necessary. Soon after the launch the book will be available in bookshops and other outlets.
