As always, the importance of collaborating with @BankWindhoek to bring Namibian literature to the fore cannot be stated enough, especially as the world tilts further and further to the right, and as the arts are devalued and defunded.
Once more, congratulations to all of the shortlisted writers, poets, and visual artists of the 2025 @BankWindhoek Doek Literary Awards. Read more about the shortlist here: https://t.co/7jx1X3yRTY

This is one of the shortlists that I always look forward to because the visual artists we have in Namibia are really dope.

Namibian poetry has always been fire, and this shortlist showcases some of the best in the country.
"The shortlisted poems were chosen for their originality, evocative quality, and rhythm... These personal and universal experiences, written with depth and imagery so vividly haunting, are captivating and thought provoking. 2025 poetry shortlist: https://t.co/7jx1X3yRTY

Man, it feels good when talented writers are recognised for their work. What a pleasure to see how far these stories and these writers have come.

Our advice is simple: find a project, path, challenge, or struggle. Find something. If you have not started, begin. And if you have, carry on. Start or continue. You must choose. But there is no stopping. Not here. Not now. Not ever. - @remythequill
you have to do the work. you have to stay consistent. you have to stay the course. and always remember why you started. always.

Yoooo! Many thanks for getting a copy of this book. Much appreciated. I hope you enjoyed it. I loved being in conversation with Peter and Yvette so much. They are amazing and generous people.
My next read has arrived, thanks to @Peter_Orner & Yvette Benavides' The Lonely Voice podcast episode with its author, @remythequill. I ordered this before their conversation was even over because I loved the stories and the author's kind demeanor so very much.

If you adopt mediocrity as a standard you will think anyone who aspires to more is your enemy.
