PIW 15 October 2010: On Freedom and Imagination

Our second October issue looks at the intersections between independent thinking, freedom of speech, political power and poetry. South African editor Liesl Jobson presents the work of three politically engaged poets – Adam Small, Angifi Proctor Dladla and Mafika Pascal Gwala – within the context of recent government bills in South Africa curtailing freedom of speech. On the Japanese domain, translator Jeffrey Angles introduces twentieth-century poet Tada Chimako, much of whose work explores the inner, psychological experiences of women in mythology and in the modern world.
