From the Back Cover
"Reesom Haile's spare poetic line carries the weight of incisive image, narrative clarity, irony plus a droll humor that speaks even after you finished reading." -Amiri Baraka "The poet talks of the arrival of a next generation knowing many languages. This new generation accepts the reality of an Africa of many languages and is determined to create a shared legacy in them. Dialogue between African languages is vital. But so is that between African languages and non-African languages. This collaboration between Reesom Haile and Charles Cantalupo shows one way in which that beautiful legacy can be shared."
-Ngugi wa Thiong'o We Have Our Voice is the first bilingual collection of the poetry of the contemporary Eritrean poet, Reesom Haile. Widely recognized for his revolutionary modernization of the traditional art of poetry in Tigrinya, one of Eritrea's main languages, he joins a growing movement of African authors who are writing in their own African languages. Working directly with Reesom Haile, Charles Cantalupo offers English versions of Reesom Haile's work.
