Chuma Mmeka

His poems are listed in "Best New African Poets 2015 Anthology"[10]

Chuma Mmeka became a victim of child abuse with his parents' separation in 1976.[11] Brought up under his mother, he suffered humiliation at different times in the hands of abusive maternal relatives. Being the first son of a polygamy, he was further branded a prodigal by some members of his paternal family for preferring to be with his mother. His formative life no doubt, is reflected in his writing style and social approach.[2]

Books

His collections of true-life poetry "The Broken Home" and "Echoes of the Mind" have received global media and literary industry reviews[13][14][15]
