My poem, Tropic Woman, is one of the many poems you can read in the 'Africa' section of the Winter 2006 edition of MindFire Renew.

Also in this edition:

E.E Sule - She Died Too,
Uduma Kalu - Answer For Me The Riddle of Silence,
David Diai - Happy Man,
Niran Okewole - Evensong
- and two poems by Jumoke Verissimo.


Others are:
James Eze - A Song For The River Nun,
Osita Obi - Seaside Palms, and
Ahmed Maiwada - Jos.

Unoma Azuah is also in there with her poem, Haunted. Azuah recently won the Urban Spectrum National Best Novel By An African Born Writer - for her book, Sky High Flames.

For good measure, there is a piece of short fiction in the same issue by Onyeka Nwelue, titled: The Poet Dies.
