an/other pastoral

by Tjawangwa Dema

Wide-ranging and polyvocal, an/other pastoral questions what we imagine to be the boundaries between humans and nature. History, belonging and race converge with climate crisis, ecosystems and care in these startling and vibrant poems. With illustrations by Tebogo Cranwell and a foreword by Chris Abani.
