Pashena

“Set in the Dangamvura township of Mutare, Zimbabwe during the 1990s, Pashena chronicles the growing experiences of a group of primary school boys.  This semi-autobiographic tale follows the main protagonist, Shingi, and his friends as they discover and navigate their love for football, community, and each other. Through the lens of their beloved dirt field, Pashena, the boys find themselves at the center of a society transforming at the hands of AIDS, poverty and a faltering economy. More than anything, however, Pashena is a story about growth, friendship, loss, and endurance”

Mirage of Days Old (Poetry Anthology)

Homeward Bound

“Focusing on themes of love, origins, self fulfillment, and death, the second edition definitely paints a picture of finality and the pursuit thereof. In each poem, we find ourselves going through the motions with the objective of arriving ‘home’. The anthology features pieces by several other young Zimbabwean poets.”
