The second February 2011 issue of Poetry International Web is a rich offering of writing from the southern hemisphere, with original poems in Indonesian, Zulu, Xhosa, Afrikaans and English.
The PIW Indonesia domain introduces Afrizal Malna and Joko Pinurbo, both of whom are known for the incorporation of quotidian images and objects from Indonesian life into their poetry. We've also published the work of three South African poets: Gcina Mhlophe, who writes rousing invocations in Zulu, Xhosa and English; Wilma Stockenström, whose poetry has graced the Afrikaans literary world for the last four decades; and Stephen Watson, an English-language poet writing lyrical interrogations of landscape and memory.
