THE POETIC DIARIES
Welcome to the home of The Poetic Diaries -- where you can find words to put to the deepest wrestlings of the soul.
Crafted out of raw reflections, thoughts and experiences, The Poetic Diaries exists to bring an honest perspective to the questions we've been too afraid to ask, and to bring light to the dark places we have walked -- or in other words, to be the silent friend that you never knew you needed -- to just listen and understand, and bring you hope.
ABOUT
Kusangalala Mkoka is a first-generation Tanzanian-Australian, born and raised in Central Queensland. Having graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Creative Writing) in 2013, Kusangalala has been writing professionally in a variety of forms for over a decade, but has been an avid writer for most of her life, with her passions finding her amidst the worlds of classic literature, short stories and poetry.
With an intense curiosity, wonder and wrestle with the human condition, Kusangalala’s creative writing explores themes of the heart, mind and spirit, entwined with themes of faith – thematics of which she has delved into with her self-published debut collection of poetry, The Hymnal Diaries, released in October 2024.
Kusangalala has publicly read for various audiences, delving into the world of ekphrastic poetry and community collaboration which has further flamed the passion within to create and find meaning, and to journey in the sharing and exploration of meaning with others.
Kusangalala is currently working on a follow-up collection in her series of poetry.
