Agringada: Like a gringa, like a foreigner by Tariro Ndoro

This debut poetry collection by Zimbabwean-South African writer Tariro Ndoro blends fragmented prose with lyrical verse to reconcile personal and national histories. It examines how language, identity, class, gender, nationality and race intersect, opening with the line "You wear silence / sitting on the concrete floor of a library / a shroud like speech."
