Swift dispatch
Wimbo wa Gaidi by Hussein Issa Tuwa
Brey Jabba anarudi Tanzania akiwa na fedha nyingi baada ya kukamilisha jukumu kubwa na la hatari sana nje ya nchi; na kulazimika kwenda kuishi kijijini - mbali na jiji kubwa, mbali na watu ambao wangeweza kumtambua, ili akaanze maisha mapya, yenye amani, japo ya upweke.
Lakini pale mwanadada kichaa achezaye dansi hovyo mitaani anapomtambua hukohuko kijijini na kumwita kwa jina ambalo hata yeye mwenyewe halitambui, shetani aliyejificha ndani yake anajitokeza, Brey Jabba anaapa kumwangamiza yule "Crazy Dancer". Kisa kinachukua sura mpya pale mtu aliyeweza kuua wauaji waliokubuhu kwa wepesi wa kucheza dansi, anapopata kigugumizi kwenye kumwangamiza yule mwanadada dhaifu mwenye kichaa.
Kulikoni?
Kama hilo halitoshi, wanapoibuka watu ambao hakutaka kabisa kukutana nao maishani na kumshinikiza ajitokeze kutoka mafichoni, malango yote ya jahanamu yanaonekana kufunguka kinyume naye na kujikuta akiwindwa na wauaji hatari wa kimataifa huku akifuatiliwa kwa karibu na wanausalama wa taifa, ilhali akiandamwa na jinamizi la huba iliyosahaulika.

Malenga Wa Bara by Mulokozi and Kahigi
Mwanzoni mwa miaka ya 1970 palitokea mgogoro wa ushairi katika nchi za Tanzania na Kenya. Makundi mawili, yaliyoitwa "wanamapokeo" na "wanausasa", yalibishana kwenye magazeti, vitabuni na kwenye makongamano kuhusu maana na maumbo ya ushairi. Miongoni mwa matokeo mazuri ya mgogoro huo ni kuandikwa na kuchapishwa kwa makala mengi na vitabu kadha vya nadharia na mikusanyo ya ushairi. Diwani ya Malenga wa Bara ni tunda mojawapo la mgogoro huo. Watunzi wa mashairi yaliyomo humu, K.K. Kahigi na M.M. Mulokozi, walikuwa miongoni mwa waanzilishi na washiriki wakubwa wa mgogoro huo. Hivyo mashairi yao yenye maumbo na miundo mbalimbali ya "kimapokeo" na ya "kisasa", ni kielezo cha kivitendo cha nadharia yao ya ushairi. Aidha, mashairi haya yanaakisi vizuri vuguvugu na mikikimikiki ya kisanaa, kijamii na kiitikadi ya miaka hiyo ya 1970.
The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
The Sun Also Rises displays the full flower of Hemingway's unique style, at once spare and gut-wrenching. Following a group of expatriates in Europe after the devastation of World War I, the novel traces the doomed love story of Jake Barnes, a veteran wrestling with wounds both physical and emotional, and the beautiful Lady Brett Ashley. As they drift from the hedonistic nightlife of Paris to the macho world of bullfighting in Spain, these members of the Lost Generation face the loss of their illusions and the impossibility of love. Closely based on true people and events Hemingway experienced as an ex-pat in Europe, this debut novel marked the arrival of a towering talent.

Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman
The poems of Leaves of Grass are loosely connected, with each representing Whitman's celebration of his philosophy of life and humanity. This book is notable for its discussion of delight in sensual pleasures during a time when such candid displays were considered immoral. Where much previous poetry, especially English, relied on symbolism, allegory, and meditation on the religious and spiritual, Leaves of Grass exalted the body and the material world.
Influenced by Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Transcendentalist movement, itself an offshoot of Romanticism, Whitman's poetry praises nature and the individual human's role in it. However, much like Emerson, Whitman does not diminish the role of the mind or the spirit; rather, he elevates the human form and the human mind, deeming both worthy of poetic praise.

I’ve got a taste for revenge and quite frankly, I’m killing it.
