Pariah in Paradise is an anthology of pooled efforts by a new generation of poets coming to the fore with a host of contemporary issues emanating from their resonating voices. This anthology is a gorgeous thematic embroidery by twenty first century Zimbabwean poets who are so much poised to depict the Orb the way it is without even the slightest of reservations. This anthology has new voices whose echoes twitch one to descern life differently. Themes behind the poems relate intimately to everyday life experiences. The robust artistic zest and ambitious objective of the poets in this anthology is substantial. Poetry as a distinctive form of art is a candid mirror of life if it is not life itself. In this collection, the leverage of written word is apparent.
