Author Description

The poetry collection, a collaboration between New York-based Sweta Srivastava Vikram and Zimbabwe's Mbizo Chirasha, delves into the socioeconomic and political issues consuming Asia and Africa. Be it poverty, child trafficking, corruption or political unrest, the artists use different forms of poetic expression to reflect on the issues the two continents are facing. While Sweta, who was raised in both India and Africa, communicates her story using Haikus and leaves her work open to interpretation, Mbizo articulates his experiences using free verse and gets the message across.
