Like the Untouchable Wind by Makhosazana Xaba

This book is a choir of voices of women who self­identify as lesbian and bisexual. Using poetry they share their experiences, their feelings and their dreams. It is a book that inspires activism and a sense of community among lesbians, bisexuals and women, beyond the borders of Bulawayo where it was conceived. In most African countries the mere existence of LGBTQIA+ lives is often denied, criminalized and or trivialized. This book speaks against all that. Women, speaking in their own words, share their lives and their activism in nuanced interesting ways. This book is for poets and women. It is for activists and anyone interested in LGBTQIA+ lives. It is a book for all who care about silenced and marginalized individuals and communities.
