Keorapetse Kgositsile, South Africa's second poet laureate, was a political activist, teacher, and poet. He lived, wrote, and taught in the United States for a significant part of his life and collaborated with many influential and highly regarded writers, including Gwendolyn Brooks, Sterling Plumpp, Dudley Randall, and George Kent. This comprehensive collection of Kgositsile's new and collected works spans almost fifty years. During his lifetime, Kgositsile dedicated the majority of his poems to people or movements, documenting the struggle against racism, Western imperialism, and racial capitalism, and celebrating human creativity, particularly music, as an inherent and essential aspect of the global liberation struggle. This collection demonstrates the commitment to equality, justice, and egalitarianism fostered by cultural workers within the mass liberation movement. As the introduction notes, Kgositsile had an "undisputed ability to honor the truth in all its complexity, with a musicality that draws on the repository of memory and history, rebuilt through the rhythms and cadences of jazz." Addressing themes of Black solidarity, displacement, and anticolonialism, Kgositsile's prose is fiery, witty, and filled with conviction. This collection showcases a voice that wanted to change the world--and did.

Key study on South African writer and activist Kgositsile that presents a new approach to studying the radicalism of Africa and its diaspora through intellectual histories; a major contribution to the histories of Black lives, gender studies, politics and creativity. The cultural configurations of the Black Atlantic and, more broadly, the Black diaspora, cannot be fully understood without recognising the presence and extensive influence of writers and artists from the African continent itself, among these the celebrated South African poet and political activist Keorapetse Kgositsile. Yet, until now, there has been no full study of his work. Uhuru Phalafala's wide-ranging book illuminates a southern African modernity that was strongly gendered, producing an inflection of radicalism from the South deployed in anti-imperialist, anti-colonial, anti-apartheid, and civil rights struggles. She unveils the importance of the oral/aural traditions, indigenous knowledge systems, and cosmologies that Kgositsile carried with him into and after exile - including the foundational influence of his mother and grandmother. Using the original concept of an 'elsewhere', the author maps the sources of Kgositsile's transformative poetics on the human, temporalities, literacies, gender, black geography, and mythologies. These generated 'poetics of possibility' for his contemporaries in the Black Arts and Black Power Movements and beyond - among them Maya Angelou, Larry Neal, Gwendolyn Brooks, members of The Last Poets, Otabenga Jones & Associates, and rapper Earl Sweatshirt - who looked to his work to model their identities, cultural movements, and radical traditions.
