Madiba and Other Poems

This anthology of poetry is first and foremost a tribute to Madiba - Nelson
Mandela, the inspiration for the volume and the subject of the title poem.
Th e collection features poems written at various points in Brandt's career as
a writer, cultural analyst and academic. 'Marie Village Beauty' goes back a
long way to his childhood and is a first experiment with Guyanese Creole.
Notably, there is also a tribute to Stephen Lawrence, a young black Briton
who sadly lost his life in terrible circumstances and has been mourned by
the nation ever since.
