Poéfrika speaks to Zimbabwean poet and author of Not Another Day, Julius Chingono, about the art of writing – and receives responses of positively poetic economy:
POÉFRIKA: Poets spend a lot of time perfecting their craft, and then perfecting each piece. How do you balance this with family life and with little income (compared with the input)?
JULIUS CHINGONO: I work daily. I do not know how long it takes me to complete a poem.
POÉFRIKA: These are difficult times, and they say laughter is the best medicine. What makes you laugh?
JULIUS CHINGONO: Because I am part of the society I write about.
