Cholwe Shilukobo

Writing, language, and expression have always been integral to me. From an early age, I was fascinated by the world and by the ways brilliant authors could dress it in prose and story. I lived in books and poems, always close to a comma and a paragraph. Now, as a writer, my writing tends to linger. I am drawn to slowness as a way of thinking, and to writing as a space where attention can be held rather than exhausted. Writing is where my thinking takes shape; it is how I digest the world and its happenings. My work is guided by care, restraint, and a refusal of easy conclusions. I write from a commitment to noticing—to questioning, acknowledging, and engaging critically. To sit idle, never to wonder or write, feels like a quiet abdication.
