“Tariro Ndoro wields many tongues to give a testament of the
innumerable ways humans survive. She is not concerned with comforting
you with hope: poems end with severed limbs, and you too are dragged
through southern African borders. She leaves you panting, too afraid to
stop for a sip of self-pity, and she has made you too familiar with her
foreignness to want belong disappears, yet, you are acutely aware that you are
alive. Agringada is a powerful way of speaking life into things that
suffocate when we are too afraid to name them.”
