Ugandan Poet Jedidiah Mugarura’s Sillerman Prize-Winning Nyamuteza Is Coming in February 2027
Jedidiah Mugarura's debut poetry collection has a publication date, and the wait is worth knowing about now. The Ugandan poet's book, *Nyamuteza*, is set to arrive in February 2027, published by the University of Nebraska Press as part of the African Poetry Book Series.
The collection is a Sillerman Prize winner, one of the most recognized honors in African poetry publishing. Preorders are already open for readers who want to get ahead of what is shaping up to be a significant debut.
February 2027 feels far off, but for a voice like Mugarura's, it is never too early to mark your calendar.
