A Kind of Unkind Love Potion

Release Date September 30, 2026

A Kind of Unkind Love Potion is a sharp, unflinching collection that blends political critique, social witness, ecological awareness, and human tenderness into a single potent brew. Ndaba Sibanda moves through continents, crises, and intimate moments with a voice that is both lyrical and incisive.

Across these poems, rulers are unmasked, injustices confronted, oceans defended, and ordinary people honored for their quiet heroism. Sibanda’s language crackles with wit, urgency, and compassion as he exposes corruption, celebrates resilience, and insists on truth even when it is inconvenient.

This is a book for readers who crave poetry that speaks boldly. It is poetry that challenges, consoles, and refuses to look away. A Kind of Unkind Love Potion is a testament to endurance, clarity, and the stubborn hope that humanity can still rise above its darkest habits.
