Literary Encyclopedia: Chenjerai Hove Chenjerai Hove was born in a rural area of Southern Zimbabwe, and his writing has, from the very beginnings, been able to convey the hardship and beauty of peasant life in Southern Africa. Hove has, however, also recorded a sense of horror and outrage caused by the historical suffering of rural Zimbabweans, especially the most vulnerable among them – the women and the children. Hove has contributed poems to several Zimbabwean anthologies, and is the author of four collections of poems: Up in Arms (1982), Red Hills of Home (1985), Rainbows in the Dust (1998) and Blind Moon (2003). www.literaryencyclopedia.com /php/speople.php?rec=true&UID=2224   (724 words)

Chenjerai Hove Hove’s writing is infused with his belief in the people for whom he bears witness, and informed by the excoriating pain of injustice. If Hove is (or was) a nationalist, he is also fearless observer and outspoken social and cultural critic, and has never shied away from recording the violence of the new Zimbabwe in his fiction, poetry and journalism. The Red Hills of Home drew on Hove’s deeply felt moral anguish over the brutalities of Zimbabwe’s war of liberation (1967-80), which he observed while teaching in the rural areas during the period. zimbabwe.poetryinternational.org /cwolk/view/17257   (350 words)

Blind Moon – Fahamu 27 Chenjerai Hove used to dream of flying so much that his father even considered sending him to a traditional healer so that he could be cured of the ailment. Hove feels the anguish of Zimbabwe acutely and gives voice to it throughout this collection, sometimes in haunting and evocative style, as in ‘/there is a painful piece of land inside me/a pain without a name, inside me.’ Nor is Hove afraid to direct his anger. But the strength of Hove's poetry is that it does not fall into this trap: it is firmly located in the broader context of human suffering and experience and because it touches emotions on this level it is all the more stronger, all the more representative of the general human condition. www.weaverpresszimbabwe.com /reviews/blindmoon_burnett.htm   (589 words)

Chenjerai Hove Chenjerai Hove was born in Mazvihwa, a village in Zimbabwe, in 1956 (some sources state 1954).

Hove contributed 14 poems in English to the anthology 'And Now the Poets Speak', which was published in 1980 on the occasion of Zimbabwe’s independence. www.literaturfestival.com /bios1_3_6_526.html   (384 words)

Where is Chenjerai Hove’s Resistance? Chenjerai Hove is one of the more prolific writers in Zimbabwe and his steady output includes both fiction and non-fiction. For Hove, Independence becomes a dream deferred, as members of the new parliament debate ideas but fail to raise issues that will improve the lives of the people in whose name the war was fought and whom the delegates supposedly represent. Hove identifies their possessions, the symbols of their status, their “armoured cars, guns, poison” — all symbols of destruction — rather than alms to uplift the life of beggars. zimbabwe.poetryinternational.org /cwolk/view/24804   (1456 words)

Kubatana - Archive - Profile: Chenjerai Hove, writer and social critic - Paul Dargano - Aug 22, 2005 History: Chenjerai Hove is an award-winning writer, poet and social critic whose work deals with the injustices of colonial era and present-day Zimbabwe. Hove, travelling with refugee documents, planned to discuss all this and more at an Edinburgh University conference recently but was stopped by officials during a scheduled touchdown in Amsterdam. It was the end of a prolonged chapter in Hove’s life which had seen him offered bribes in return for government favours, accused of smuggling 23 kilos of marijuana across the border to Botswana, and watched from outside his house by police on a permanent stakeout. kubatana.net /html/archive/artcul/050822pd.asp?sector=ARTCUL&...   (1266 words)

Writers of Zimbabwe - Encyclopedia Chenjerai Hove is a writer who grew up acutely conscious of the injustice meted out to Africans during the colonial era, an awareness that was probably strengthened when he attended the Catholic Marist Brothers schools at Kutama and Dete in the 1970s. Hove's status as a serious creative artist was further confirmed with the publication of Up in Arms in 1982 and Red Hills of Home in 1985: both of these poetry collections received special mention by the judges of the Noma Award for Publishing in Africa, in 1983 and 1986, respectively. Hove also has the distinction of being one of the founding members of the Zimbabwe Writers Union (ZWU) and indeed was its Chairman from 1984 to 1992. www.writers.co.zw /modules.php?name=Encyclopedia&op=content&tid=6   (556 words)

Chenjerai Hove: Rainbows in the dust Chenjerai Hove has published several collections of poems in English and Shona, whilst his mark as a novelist of standing was made a number of years ago with his widely acclaimed novels in English: Bones(1988) and Shadows(1991). In Rainbows in the Dust, his latest collection of verse, we hear the same passionate voice, gentle but strong in spirit, and haunted still by shadows and visions, and sometimes by quiet despair. His poems to Ken Saro-Wiwa strike a particularly compassionate note, and flowing from his "blank memories where treasured tales are kept" his intellectual awareness dramatically awakens our own. www.sagg.com.sg /zimbabwebooks/e/book/rainbow.html   (123 words)

An Introduction to Post-Independence Zimbabwean Poetry In the politics of speaking for others, Chenjerai Hove shows empathy but he often does not use the voices and the language of the disadvantaged. Zimunya shares this dualistic vision with Charles Mungoshi and Chenjerai Hove, writers who in their poetry and fiction consciously use the country/town trope to construct the development of independence and post-independence identities. Hove and other Zimbabwean poets (often erroneously associated with cultural essentialism) see writing as liberating process of enlarging, rather than narrowing, the possibilities of constructing a national identity. www.poetryinternational.org /cwolk/view/17393   (4427 words)

In Bones food delineates privilege, economic class, and social position, and in Hove's novel the instruments of food, pots and pans define the role of the person who possesses them.

Palaver Finish - Turmoil of Zimbabwe, from the inside - African Review of Books - 2003 This book was an interesting read for a number of reasons, one being that Chenjerai Hove talks in detail about political violence in Zimbabwe’s rural areas. In essays such as ‘The new millennium in the village’, Hove explains how villagers who oppose the ruling party, especially at election time, are earmarked for torture by politicians in that area. However, Hove lacks flair, but this is probably because of the medium he is using. www.weaverpresszimbabwe.com /reviews/palaverafrrev03.htm   (801 words)

Hove, Chenjerai - Profiles A hatred Hove found necessary for survival is transcended later in looser, more approachable poems that turn to broader issues of unfulfilled political promises and his own role as writer in a chaotic world. Although Hove's earlier poems trenchantly supported the guerilla war, they are less populist in structure and tone than most contemporary nationalist work, provoking accusations of excessive difficulty. In Shebeen Tales, Hove follows Ngugi wa Thiong'o and Ayi Kwei Armah in chronicling the conditions of the dispossessed. people.africadatabase.org /en/profile/2618.html   (601 words)
