Winner of an Eric Gregory Award 2024

if I die here in the marshes de-melanated me will hunch up my limbs my body becoming traffic cone bright against tarmac noir as if to say turn lest you wish to become this

In Mutabani & [ ]ther Poems-a new work full of clear-sighted love and deeply human warmth-Francis-Xavier Mukiibi explores what it means to belong to this world and to one another. Part of Little Betty 2025.

'With its free and confident use of Luganda, Francis-Xavier Mukiibi conjures a Bantu boyhood into a beautiful music that moves effortlessly from detail to a sense of the global. This is a new, very rich sound in poetry and a memorable description of youth!' Gwyneth Lewis

'Reading each poem in this collection is akin to discovering a bidirectional loophole between worlds. I raised my head up and down like an agama lizard in a Bantu sunset, admiring Francis-Xavier's talent for bringing the mundane to life.' Eric Ngalle Charles

'A glorious, searing pamphlet. The poems leap from the page, utterly alive with sound and with language, with beauty and with storytelling, with curiosity and with craft. This is a powerful voice and an expansive and atmospheric read.' Cecilia Knapp

'Poised, surreal, and unafraid of strangeness, Mukiibi's vivid poetic eye has the ability to shape meaning from the most granular of images. Mutabani & [ ]ther Poems heralds the coming of a brilliant voice.' Victoria Adukwei Bulley

'Beneath the Sahara sun, a new Ugandan poet is forged from the clay.' Nick Makoha
