Felix Mnthali is best known as a poet whose collection When Sunset Comes to Sapitwa was published in 1982. He, in poems like 'The Stranglehold of English lit., like David Rubadiri and others were pioneers in the peri-and post-inde-pendence era examination of colonialism and neocolonialism. His poetry has appeared in anthologies in Africa, Europe and America. He is an academic who went into writing as a way of helping young people who were featured on the Malawi Broadcasting Corporation's radio programme 'Writers Corner, which he started and chaired between 1969 and 1976. His detention without trial in 1976, just when he had risen to the rank of professor, and his year-long stay at the University of Ibadan in 1979/80 steered his writing in new directions and gave it a muscle and tone it has long retained. He was Professor of English at the University of Botswana from 1982 until his retirement. In between teaching, research and writing critical essays he has gathered two volumes of poetry and written three novels.
