Mubanga Kalimamukwento's multi-lingual, hybrid collection of essays and poems, Another Mother Does Not Come When Yours Dies, is a kaleidoscope of emotions: at once self-excavation and epitaph, exhumation, and burial song. These words are a conversation between the present and the past.Kalimamukwento deftly navigates the aftermath of devastating personal losses, particularly that of her mother. Through them, she invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of loss and the enduring impact of familial bonds.
