Chenjerai Hove
Chenjerai Hove is a Zimbabwean author, poet, essayist, playwright, and human rights activist. A vocal critic of the regime of Robert Mugabe, Hove was forced to flee Zimbabwe in 2001 and has, ever since, lived in exile. He is the author of several noteworthy and award-winning works of fiction, poetry, and essays including his novels, Shadows and Bones, which won the Zimbabwe Literary Award and the Noma Award for Publishing In Africa. In January of 2010, Hove was invited by the Center for Literature and Theater at Miami Dade College to participate in the Miami: City of Refuge writer-in-residence project, part of an international network affording displaced writers a place to live and work in freedom. Homeless Sweet Home: A Memoir of Miami (B & B Press), is a compilation of Hove's essays, poems, and plays, written over the course of his nearly two years living and writing in Miami.
