Genuine expression and heartfelt poetry is the main focus of Tanzanian-born writer Eric Maganga. Maganga has lived in Copenhagen for most of his life and deals with the transition on his blog, A Casual Tanzanian. However, in much of his creative writing, Maganga shares his most intimate thoughts and feelings through slam-poetry that he shares on Instagram and at open mics, and through playwriting.
His writing is sincere and aspires to create a connection through the medium. His intimate style, often focused on insecurities and self-development, is inspiring while simultaneously provides comfort on a personal level.
