| Talking Tales |
 |
| Author/Editor: |
Violet Barungi |
| ISBN: |
978-9970-700-21-9 |
| In Talking Tales, a variety of women tell their stories in prose and poetry. They cast their nets wide, hauling in themes that celebrate as much as they castigate and mourn. There is the delight of discovering oneself on the cusp of womanhood, and of hearing about success in the fight for women's emancipation. There is also the wonder at the restorative power of love. However, the murkier side of human life is explored too: the failed search for love, unwanted advances, misunderstood affinities, incest, betrayal, disillusionment, unfruitful enterprise, domestic violence, corruption, brutality, injustice, the capriciousness of fortune... The realistic, the near-fantastic and the bizarre all find their place here. The themes are handled with forthrightness and humor as the writers take full advantage of the possibilities inherent in the different ways of telling tales: poetic, epistolary, expository, and straightforward narratives. |

| Pumpkin Seeds And Other Gifts |
 |
| Author/Editor: |
Helen Moffet, Violet Barungi |
| ISBN: |
978-9970-700-22-6 |
| The names of those who peened the writings in this impressive collection alone tell half the story. They hail from different parts of Africa and from different cultures. They tell their stories in different modes. They run the whole gamut - they tell of defiance, and spin hilarious tales of elopement and wry tales of despair, loss and lovelessness. Some of the poems lift up the heart, and peel back the blinkers that blind our eyes. There is the romantic, the macabre and the surreal. The writings never leave you indifferent - you are likely to take sides, to get angry, to laugh, to cry, and to think of a lot that goes on inside the human heart. |
