A poetry feast

Dreaming Is A Gift For Me is a spoken word CD compilation featuring Botswana's foremost poets. The CD was launched on September 20 when contributors gathered to listen to the CD in the company of well-wishers, journalists and an odd critic. It is hard to find words that can best describe the feeling of being in a room-graced genius. You can imagine the thrill induced by sharing space with diamond-brilliant weavers of dreams. I came out of the listening session feeling more alive.

Dreaming Is A Gift For Me comes out at a time when Botswana has celebrated its 45th Independence anniversary.It is important to celebrate the independence of our imagination. The CD proves that Botswana has come of age, imaginatively.
