Ours is not only a
festival that promotes spoken word poetry and storytelling alone. Maun
International Poetry Festival 2012 also aims at encouraging and promoting
Batswana writers, both established and upcoming. We are for all literary arts,
written and spoken. In an endeavour to uplift our own writers, there will be
eight titles from Batswana writers on sale during the festival in May 26th,
Maun Lodge, Maun, Botswana. Courtesy of Pentagon Publishers, Poetavango will be
selling the following books at our long awaited festival. If you ever thought
Botswana doesn’t have writers, think again.

Think about it. Isn’t it
worth it? To have a Motswana writer in your collection of books? We think it
is! Again, lets promote the culture of reading and cast away the cliché that
Batswana don’t read.
