| | Mutswairo, Solomon - Profiles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | MUTSWAIRO, Solomon (1924-), Zimbabwean storyteller and poet, was born in Zawu, Mosowe district, central Zimbabwe, to Salvation Army missionaries and educated at Adams College, South Africa, Fort Hare University College, the University of Ottawa, Canada, and Howard University, Washington, DC. |
 | | His intensely elegiac and pastoral poems not only exemplify the poetic nuances of the Shona language in which they are written but also celebrate the beauty of the rural environment of the author's childhood, which has been destroyed by white settler domination, colonialism, and the war of independence. |
