The Gift of A Thousand Words
We all know the adage, "a picture is worth a thousand words." But, we might ask, if we are given a thousand words, do we then have a picture? In this literary instance, yes; Akon Metu, published author and poet, frames a remarkable array of life's situations in words that create corresponding vignettes - and, sometimes, as in her poem, "The Splendour of a Thousand Suns", a corresponding silhouette.

The Polygamist
The Polgyamist weaves a tale about four women whose lives become intertwined when they fall for wealthy banking magnate Jonasi. Seemingly indomitable, and oozing money, power and sex appeal, Jonasi is about to complicate their lives forever.
Told in a gripping, accessible and somewhat shockingly frank style, Sue Nyathi takes readers on a journey beyond the bedroom door of a polygamous man and his four Mrs Rights. Yet lurking below the surface the question remains: is this kind of marriage practice really legitimate in a society plagued by HIV/Aids?
Smart, sassy and sexy, The Polygamist shows that sometimes marriage isn’t what you envisioned – rather than being a secure refuge it can be a battlefield!
