The Elusive but Cherished Memory: an Anthology of Poems Thabani Ray Ngwenya

The Elusive but Cherished Memory is Thabani's first book. It is an anthology of poems in which he depicts a wide range of themes such as the harmony of nature, love, cultural attitudes and beliefs as well as his own personal convictions about life, which he believes are 'prejudices' in their own right. Thabani gets into the shoes of those who have gone through certain experiences and expresses their joys and sorrows as if they were his own. He also skilfully portrays the insight he draws from witnessing events as they unfold before him.
