Not a Poet

Not a Poet
By Levis Mugale

In Not a Poet, Mugale takes readers on an unapologetic journey through the fragmented realities of the modern human experience. A raw, poetic exploration of existence, identity, love, and society, this collection pulls no punches in its portrayal of life's harsh truths. From the quiet moments of reflection in the morning to the brutal confrontations with personal and societal demons, Mugale's words echo the struggles of self-discovery, emotional turmoil, and the quest for meaning in a world that often feels indifferent.

Through an unflinching lens, Mugale dissects the complexities of race, privilege, and human connection, all while wrestling with the deeper questions of life, death, and the spaces in between. With each poem, the author peels back layers of consciousness-laying bare the messy, imperfect, and often contradictory nature of being alive.

Not a Poet is a mirror held up to the reader, inviting them to confront their own truths. This is not a book for the faint of heart, but for those willing to dive into the darker corners of the human soul and emerge with a clearer sense of self and the world around them.
