A Blood Condition

Kayo Chingonyi's award-nominated second poetry collection is a moving and expansive exploration of personal and cultural identity, weaving themes of grief, survival, and renewal. Spanning locations from the Zambezi River to London and Leeds, the poems reflect on how history, distance, and the body intertwine. With lyricism and musicality, the collection offers a profound reflection on inheritance and the enduring connections that shape us.
