It is with deep regret that I closed Hotazel Review today. With the rising cost of living in South Africa the journal is no longer financially viable. Thank you to everyone who contributed work and/or support. Best wishes. The Editor.

I just received my copy of 'Unbound: An Anthology of New Nigerian Poets Under 40' all the way from Canada.
I am deeply grateful. 😊
Honored to have three of my poems featured in this beautiful collection alongside the voices of many remarkable Nigerian poets shaping contemporary literature in powerful ways.
Thank you to Prof. @ Nduka Otiono and his for this meaningful work and for believing in these voices and stories.
There is always something humbling about seeing one’s words travel into the world and find a home among others.
This beautiful work was published by Griots Lounge Canada.
