How I Started: It Is Right To Write

Ndaba Sibanda is a Zimbabwean-born poet, novelist, and nonfiction writer who has a passion for themes and topics around conservation, nature, development and justice. He believes that he is a poet in prose, and hence he has never looked back since building and marching into the very first poetry pharmacy in the world, where poetry … and poetry and poetics are the most tonic threesome prescriptions. Sibanda has received the following nominations: the National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA), the Mary Ballard Poetry Chapbook Prize, the Best of the Net Prose and the Pushcart Prize. Sibanda's book Notes, Themes, Things and Other Things: Confronting Controversies, Contradictions and Indoctrinations was considered for the 2019 Restless Book Prize for New Immigrant Writing in Nonfiction. Ndaba's book titled Cabinet Meetings: Of Big and Small Preys was considered for the Graywolf Press Africa Prize 2018. Sibanda is a three-time Pushcart nominee. He can be spotted landscaping, lurking, lounging and even lost on various and many media networks
