<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"Songs of the Tongue-Tied" is a complex poetic rendering of a life lived in refugee camps in Southern Africa. Based largely on the life of Francisco Nsabimana, a young refugee, poet, and scholar from Rwanda, the collection provides a visceral experience. The poems simultaneously expose brutal realities of poverty while expressing gratitude and hope, as told through Nsabimana's youthful eyes.</p><p><br></p><p>Nsabimana's lyricism is provocative in its outrage, but his lines also express deep sentimentality for language and landscape. His message is ultimately one of resilience.</p>
