...a shameless, desolate, hungry present.
A Shameless, Desolate, Hungry Present is a psychologically rich and philosophically resonant long-form poem that interrogates the fragmentation of postcolonial identity in the aftermath of liberation struggles. Through a solitary soldier's fragmented consciousness, the poem engages themes of historical amnesia, ecological collapse, and spiritual dislocation. Set in a barren, post-revolutionary landscape, the text explores the existential paradoxes of heroism and defeat, memory and erasure, agency and paralysis.Drawing on a symbolic lexicon grounded in African cosmology and guerrilla resistance, the narrative unspools with cinematic pacing and rhetorical gravitas. The poem's speaker becomes both witness and relic-suspended in a liminal temporality where ancestral sacrifice collides with the absurdity of an unredeemed present. Natural imagery-bleached bones, silent rivers, sun-stripped bark-functions as both metaphor and testimony, anchoring broader questions about the cost of historical progress and the psychic toll of liberation deferred.This poem is essential reading for scholars of postcolonial literature, African poetics, trauma studies, and political aesthetics. It offers fertile ground for interdisciplinary analysis, especially in the contexts of eco-criticism, memory studies, and narrative resistance against hegemonic historicity.

High Class Natives - The Ballroom Dancers & Mbira Players
Set in the charged twilight of 1970s Rhodesia, High Class Natives is a sweeping musical stage play that brings to life the inner struggles of the Choto family-torn between ancestral roots and Western aspirations, tradition and modernity, resilience and ambition. At its center is Majasi, a recently widowed elder whose rural homestead in Mhondoro African Reservation was set ablaze by Rhodesian Army forces. His wife was brutally killed, punished for the simple act of feeding guerrilla fighters who came seeking a warm meal and brief sanctuary. Displaced, grieving, and carrying the heavy weight of a crumbling world, Majasi finds refuge in Beatrice Cottages-the modest yet socially ambitious home of his eldest son, Rwizi.Beatrice Cottages, an enclave of relative prosperity within Salisbury's African township, is a symbol of mobility and fragile hope-where lawn manicures and ballroom dancing lessons serve as armor against a society built on exclusion. But within the Choto home, fault lines begin to rupture. Rwizi's wife, Sally, elegant and refined, sees herself as ascending into a higher social caste-one shaped by European etiquette and sensibilities. In a moment of candor whispered across their bedroom, she makes her intentions plain: Majasi and his youngest son, Andrew, are not to overstay their welcome. Their presence, she insists, is disruptive to her vision of raising their six-year-old son, John, as a polished and cultured young man, free from the perceived backwardness of village life and tribal custom.Caught between his reverence for tradition and the pressures of modern domestic life, Rwizi is paralyzed. His heart belongs to his father, the man who sold most of the family's cattle to put him through school, and who later loaned him the money to buy the very house Sally now seeks to keep free of "rural clutter." Yet his loyalty to his wife and child-and to the aspirational, middle-class respectability they represent-is equally strong. What unfolds is a slow-burning domestic drama, steeped in cultural tension, political fear, and the aching dissonance of identity in transition.Laced with stirring music that dances between the elegance of European ballroom and the soulful cadence of the Shona mbira, High Class Natives is not merely a story of a family in conflict-it is an excavation of memory, belonging, and the legacy of colonialism. It asks, with grace and power: What happens when the past we carry threatens the future we desire? Who do we become when the music of our ancestors plays in a room where no one listens?
