Story
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.
