Recordist's notes
Linda Gabriel, “Sins of our Mothers…” for these recordings, we decided to move to the large backyard office at Book Cafe. Evenings performances picked up by then and Isobel's small accountant office a little too rich of ambience .... Some of the poems recorded at Book Café are now also part of the online collection of Badelisha Poetry: http://badilishapoetry.com/. some were broadcast in Petronella’s “Soul Tuesday” Joy FM Lusaka on 5 Dec 2012: http://www.creativeafricanetwork.com/page/69595/en
