Gourd of Consciousness 

Anthology of multilingual poems and visual art

With foreword by Dr Ignatius T. Mabasa, introduction by Khumbulani Bandula Muleya, and afterword by Tinashe Muchuri

"I was captivated by the way visual artists at First Floor Gallery Harare brought Zimbabwean proverbs and idioms to life through their art. This inspired me to compile an anthology that celebrates our indigenous languages by bringing poets and visual artists together in a unique collaborative work"
