About this listen
In a world where birth heralds a battle cry, join an exiled protagonist on an odyssey through Ngoni Chiwara's debut chapbook, 'Birth Penalty.' Here, punishment is shifted across the corridors of time, echoing the deeds of past lives. Chiwara leads listeners through a tapestry of poignant short stories and evocative poetry: from the streets of Glasgow to the ancient pathways of a medieval city in Sub-Saharan Africa. Explore the depths of desire, the complexities of tribalism, the shadows of corruption, and the whispers of spirituality, all refracted through the prism of immigration.
'Birth Penalty' seamlessly blends classic literature with African parable styles, infused with subtle rhythmic beats of lyrical hip-hop. At its core lies a rare palindrome poem—a testament to radical experimentation seldom found in modern literature.
Published by Writers Space Africa and Japan Society's Haiku Corner, Chiwara's work promises to captivate with lyrical prose and thought-provoking imagery. Prepare to embark on a compelling exploration of the human condition through a distinctive style of storytelling that surely demands listening again.
