Colorful is a heartfelt collection of poems that explores the complex beauty found in lifes most difficult moments. In this deeply personal debut, South African writer Lunga Ngqanda reflects on his journey through grief, poverty, identity, and healing. With simple, emotionally charged language, he gives voice to the silence left by a mother he never knew and honors the strength of the grandmother who raised him with unwavering love.

Each poem paints a vivid picture of survival and self-discoveryrevealing how words can become both a weapon and a refuge. From the cold nights of rural hardship to the quiet victories of resilience, Colorful is a testament to finding light in darkness, and hope in places many would overlook.

Its a celebration of vulnerability, growth, and the inner strength it takes to rise from pain and turn it into poetry.
