Kezilahabi, Euphrase

Euphrase Kezilahabi (1944-2020) was a Tanzanian novelist, poet, playwright, and philosopher. Kezilahabi wrote in an everyday Swahili for the masses while simultaneously conveying complex ideas about societal alienation and liberation. Despite not always being accepted by his contemporaries, especially regarding his controversial free-verse poetry, today, as Annmarie Drury states in the foreword to her translation of his poetry, he's accepted as "a key figure of modernization and democratization, a renovator of the Swahili literary tradition."
