Five Volumes down the line and the sixth volume of POETREE is still on a DVD in PDF format, hoping to be printed soonest. The journey has been long for the team of POETREE. It has been hard and at times almost impossible to kick off the dream of having a literary magazine that promoted poetry in Namibia and thus brought to fore poets both established and unknown. Since the first volume, Township Productions has received numerous request to feature Namibian and foreign poets in POETREE, unfortunately it is impossible to publish everybody. As a result, Township Productions is in the possession of material worth multiple publication of POETREE. 
The other reality is that the printing of POETREE has become impossible and thus the sixth Edition patiently waiting to be printed. The will is to print the sixth edition and continue with the publication that has been distributed all over the world.
The ideal exist and the poets are writing, the team that produced POETREE is still standing by. The only thing missing are the funds to continue. So until such a time that funds are available keep writing and keep the spirits high.
