The Scars: On My Skin

I am working on a trilogy of poetry called The Scars: On My Skin. First show is in March and I am excited. It has been ages since I performed my poetry and many people have over the years demanded that I  do my poetry. Now I have taken up the challenge to do just that: Stage a poetry show that will shift your ignorance a little to the left.

I am currently working on my anthology of poetry and the trilogy serves to collect new material for the anthology. I will also be recording the three shows and produce a DVD of my poetry later if not early new year. Thirdly, I am aiming at producing an audio recording of my poetry.

After a long absence and involvement with many other poets in Namibia and elsewhere, I have decided to work on my material and to keep the performing culture of poetry alive in Namibia and more importantly within myself.

Over the years I've been involved in Poetry as a editor and publisher through Township Productions. To date we have published three anthologies and 5 Editions of Poetree. Additionally Township Productions has produced a couple of poetry shows featuring Namibian poets. I have participated in a couple of POetry FEstivals in Namibia, South Afrika, Botswana and Germany and have contributed to an Anthology of African Poetry called No Serenity Here. In this anthology, two of my poems have been translated into Chinese. additionally I share the anthology with poets from Africa and the Diaspora

For 2011, I am working on these three major poetry projects: The Trilogy of Poetry Shows, a DVD and Audio recording and the publishing of my Poetry book simply entitled The Scars On My Skin.
