Farm Crazy Soulstress Converses Through Poetry

Her stage name can be interpreted as ‘she who speaks to the soul’ which is the theme of her debut poetry anthology released last month. She said by using her stage name, the intention was to give readers a better understanding of who she is, what inspires her and for them to understand that she is someone who is relatable along with her art, because it addresses issues that a majority of people go through in their lives. The anthology focuses on three main subject matters namely life, poetry and women. It is divided into three chapters, which are all based on Moyo’s experiences. She told Arts and Culture that she wanted the book to be a reflection of herself hence she divided it into those chapters.

“I grew up as a very shy kid who rarely said much. Books were my friends and I felt I could express myself better through writing. I had a lot of diaries and with time I moved from them to writing short stories and at a certain point in time I believed I was a song writer,” Moyo said about her journey as a poet. She pointed out that she was introduced to poetry when she was 13-years-old.
