Overview

""To contextualise Xhegwana within contemporary South African poetry is to note his deliberate divergence from the more immediately accessible, o en performative, and politically galvanised verse that characterises much of the contemporary landscape. While the themes of IMAGINED: land, poverty, the legacy of colonialism, and the ongoing trauma of inequality; are quintessentially South African, Xhegwana's formal approach eschews simple realist depiction for a denser, intertextual, and self-consciously edified mode. He seems to inherit the epic scope of earlier poets like Mazisi Kunene or the demanding intellectual he of a Mafika Gwala, but refracts it through a raw lens of deeply personal ideation."" - Aryan Kaganof
