Sauti ya Dhiki (Toleo Jipya)
Diwani hii - inayosheheni mashairi kuhusu utamaduni, mapenzi, nasaha, siasa, mambo ya kinyumbani, n.k. - ilitungwa baina ya 1969 na 1972 ambapo mtunzi alikuwa kifungoni baada ya kupatikana na hatia ya kuwachochea watu ili waipindue Serikali ya Kenya kwa kutumia silaha. Kwa hivyo, unapoisoma diwani hii hutaweza kujizuia kuona athari ambayo kifungo huweza kuwa nayo kwa mfungwa.
n
nJambo la maana sana kuhusu diwani hii ni kwamba mtunzi ameweza kuzungumzia mambo ya kisasa, kama alivyofanya katika shairi la 'Usiniuwe!', bila kupotoka na kutafuta mifano ya kigeni. Hili ndilo lililompa Shihabuddin Chiraghdin, mmoja wa wataalamu mashuhuri wa lugha ya Kiswahili, kusema katika utangulizi wake kwamba, ingawa mtunzi ameingiliwa na athari za kigeni kwa ajili ya elimu aliyoipata shuleni, 'hakukubali kuzongwazongwa na athari hizo, hivyo mashairi yake hayana maingilio ya miundo ya kigeni hata chembe, na mawazo yake yote yameambatana na Uswahili na Uafrika kwa jumla'.
n
nKitabu hiki kitawafaa wale wapendao kusoma mashairi ya Kiswahili ya kiwango cha juu, na vilevile wanafunzi wa fasihi ya Kiswahili katika shule za sekondari na vyuo vikuu.
Mfalme Edipode
Mchezo huu ni tafsiri ya mmojawapo wa michezo ya misiba iliyo mashuhuri iliyotungwa na yule mwandishi wa Kigiriki, Sofokile, kiasi cha miaka 420 kabla ya Kristo. Unatuwekea mbele yetu hadithi nzuri mno ya mfalme ambaye, pamoja na kuwa na moyo laini, ana ndweo ya kiburi cha kuzawa nacho. Kiburi hicho ndicho kinachompeleka kwenye kifo kiovu baada ya kumuua babake na kumuoa mamake bila ya kujua.
n
nKatika tafsiri hii iliyofanywa kutokana na nakala kadha wa kadha za Kiingereza, Samuel Mushi ameuhifadhi ule moyo na tabia ya ushairi asilia wa Kigiriki na papo hapo akashikamana na mwendo wa ushairi wa Kiswahili kwa kadri inavyowezekana. Katika utangulizi wake anakokoteza kwamba ingawa mchezo huu ulitungwa kwa mujibu wa utamaduni wa Kigiriki wa kale, wahusika wake na hisia zao ni za kiulimwengu mzima na, kwa hivyo, mchezo wenyewe unaweza kuchezwa katika mazingira ya Kiafrika.
