UPDATED 6 OCTOBER 2020: uHlanga will no longer be publishing this title.
uHlanga is happy to announce that we have acquired the South African rights for the as-yet-untitled second collection of poetry by Koleka Putuma. It follows the success of 2017’s Collective Amnesia, which won the 2018 Glenna Luschei Prize for African Poetry and catapulted Putuma into South Africa’s literary mainstream.
Showcasing a maturation of style and optics, while tackling the legacies of black femme erasure from arts and society, the book will be edited by uHlanga’s own Maneo Mohale.
More information about the title will be forthcoming closer to its release date, which, pandemics notwithstanding, will be in the latter half of 2021.
