Modern Sudanese Poetry: An Anthology by Adil Babikir
4.0
3.75 but rounded up
I really liked a good number of the poems, but there was also a handful that I didn't connect with. Overall had a good time. I will admit that I can't help but wonder how the translations changes/effected them, what may be lost in translation. A lot of them were very accessible and easy to follow and their were some notes in the back to explain specific people, names or words which wasn't necessary for most of the poems but cam in handy for the few that needed them.
