We Are Not an Error But the Idioms of Our Era

Ndaba Sibanda is a Bulawayo-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.
