Dennis Brutus

This issue of Sentinel Literary Quarterly is dedicated to the memory of poet and activist Dennis Brutus who died on Boxing day, 2009. A great Sentinel of our time, he fought crimes against nature, the environment and humanity up till his last breath. All of us at Sentinel Poetry Movement celebrate the great man and give thanks to God for the special gift that IS Dennis Brutus.
