Chris Beckett & Alemu Tebeje 
Songs We Learn from Trees [EPUB ebook] 
An Anthology of Ethiopian Amharic Poetry

Dukung

Finalist for the 2021 Glenna Luschei Prize for African Poetry
This is the very first anthology of Ethiopian poetry in English, packed with all the energy, wit and heartache of a beautiful country and language. From folk and religious poems, warrior boasts, praises of women and kings and modern plumbing; through a flowering of literary poets in the twentieth century; right up to thirty of the most exciting contemporary Amharic poets working both inside and outside the country.
These poems ask what it means to be Ethiopian today, part of a young fast-growing economy, heirs to the one African state which was never colonised, but beset by deep political, ethnic and moral problems.
