Chuma Mmeka

His poems are listed in "Best New African Poets 2015 Anthology"[9]

Chuma Mmeka became a victim of child abuse with his parents' separation in 1976.[10] 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.

Books

His collections of true-life poetry "The Broken Home" and "Echoes of the Mind" have received global media and literary industry reviews[12][13][14]
