African Roar is ST's first book anthology, in what is going to become an annual publication. For the debut, all works currently at ST and those published by the 20th of July, (which fit the anthology guidelines), are up for selection in the anthology. But as the sub-title says, this is an eclectic anthology and will only feature the absolute best of all the works at ST. In the next anthology it will be the best of that year.African Roar will be edited by Emmanuel Sigauke and Ivor W. Hartmann, and published by The Lion Press.
