Lughano Mwangwegho

Shadows of Footsteps.

Bamenda: Langaa RPCIG , 2016. 80 p. Soft. ISBN 9789956763320.  In English

As memorable for the beauty of his descriptions as for his poetic vision, in these poems Mwangwegho captures the tenderness of Malawi and the fragility of it, as well as exploring the depths of our universal lives. In three sections, Shadows of Footsteps, takes us to corners of the past, to a view of shared African experience and to a space where internal freedoms speak. The journey is wild in parts, but graceful in completion. Lughano Mwangwegho is second born to the inventor of Mwangwego script (a system of writing bantu languages using symbols). He enjoys reading, performing and writing. In 1997 his poems appeared in Moni magazine and since then he has had poetry and short stories published in weekly papers and magazines. In 2011 his play, Stains of Decay won the best script award at the ATEM (Association for the teaching of English in Malawi) competition. He holds D.A.L.F (Diplome Approfondi de la langue francaise) which allows him to teach and examine French oral/aural examinations in Malawi.
