Literature professors insist no language is ‘richer’ than the other. The vitality is lost in translation, they say. And so this was the case for Nakisanze, a luganda performance poet who is also the author of The Triangle, a book that was launched last night.

sometimes i want to say it. and there is nothing in english. that will say it. – Nejma, Nayyirah Waheed

Chuma Nwokolo, is quite the story teller. The author of How to spell Naija, a short story collection did read us one story.

He agrees with Beaton that life is already hard as it is.
The book, We are all Blue by Donald Molosi was also launched in his absence.
