Marial Awendit is a formidable poet. His words carry the weight of the world’s mysteries,  the intricate details of a personal journey and the wit of one who sees  possibilities in the future. ‘The Night Does Not Drown Us,’ is a collection of poetry that readers have  termed as mesmerising and haunting, a masterpiece and delicate.

It is a pleasure to launch the collection of our #Babishai2018 poetry award winner, from South Sudan.
