They called him Retard. He sharpened it.

In this incendiary debut, a Zimbabwean poet excavates the architecture of power-from the deathbed of his father, the Ngwazi, to the streets where six fell on August 1st. He follows the trail of the rooranai vematongo philosophy-the old wisdom that love should start from memory, not from scratch-only to find it tangled in lobola negotiations, hollowed by capitalism, and weaponised against the poor.

Unbowed is a book of witness: the chair that holds blood, the rooster that becomes stew, the bullet that still rests in a wooden box beside a pack of condoms. It asks: When the prophecy says you cannot strike, what happens when you strike anyway?

Write with a spear tip, he did.
