Sharon Mutjavikua, an award-winning author and poet, has recently published her latest anthology, The Eyes of Light, a compelling collection of poetry and prose. Sharon describes it as her most daring and creative work yet.
“Light is only relevant in darkness,” she says. “The world is in darkness right now. Nations are rising against nations, words are weaponized, and families are in despair. We all need light — even a little light — until the morning comes.”
Reflecting on the inspiration behind the book, Sharon shares:
“I wrote this anthology when I could not see the road ahead. I was at a dead end.”
A passionate literary advocate, Sharon’s work continues to inspire both the young and the old. Her two fiction books, Kwaima and the Mysterious Tree and Kwaima Wears Big Shoes, have brought laughter, imagination, and inspiration to many homes in Namibia and across the globe.
The Eyes of Light is a mirror held up to the inner world — a place where womanhood rises like a river, where laughter slips through the cracks of ordinary days, where history breathes both its dust and its glory, and where the divine leans close enough to steady trembling hands.
Sharon dedicates this work to all who have waited for the sun to rise, forgetting that within them was already all the light they needed to walk.
