Nairobi Noir is an act of excavation, rediscovering the city's ossified past and infusing life to preserve it for future generations. It is also an act of celebration, reminding listeners of the brilliance of the best-known writers to emerge from this part of the world, and heralding the birth of new writers whose gifts, we can safely predict, will shine brightly in the years ahead.

In this poetry collection, Mbelizi delves deep into the realms of pain and anxiety through vivid verses, creating a raw and honest representation of the struggles and inner turmoils faced. Through evocative imagery and metaphors, this collection explores the nature of these emotions and goes back and forth between darkness and moments of hope.
