Stash of the street

In this debut collection of poems, Marshal Muhaga traverses the streets he grew up on to unveil an array of memories, experiences and emotions woven into the very fabric of society. Sometimes wry, sometimes longing, his voice navigates the labyrinthine streets to paint a vivid panorama of the township's vibrant traditions alongside the resilience of the human spirit. From the bustling markets to the rhythmic beats of music, the reader is immersed in a rich drapery of lives that thrive despite their predicament. These pages invite you to reflect on your own life journey, and to find solace in the shared experiences that connect us all, regardless of where you call home. Marshal Muhaga was born in Bindura and raised in Shamva, Zimbabwe and holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Sakarya in Türkiye. He believes that poetry can change the world and wishes to inspire and empower young people through his writing. Muhaga is the author of Blueprint from The Dictator Factory and a football fanatic who finds fun in photography.
