BBC Four, African Seasons, African Renaissance.

I wrote and recorded this poem for the BBC's upcoming season.

Poem /
Praise the land of hand woven homes
of rainbow seedlings spun to marital necklaces
of cow-belly and calabash, song and string
praise the land of rebellious literature and literary queens
of literal kings and terrible conquests
praise the terrible, les enfants terribles,
raise the dust and praise
the pioneers, the patriots, the painters and their pain
and praise the grace within
