Marechera's poetry is just as idiosyncratic and shifty as his prose. A little bit more off the rails and much more coded. This was Marechera's intention. He claims that poetry comes out of the stream of consciousness and hardly ever is there a ebb to the flow. War, God and Nature are at odds in these poems and often times their dissonant nature becomes beautiful.
