His first poem is titled “The Return” and was published in an anthology titled Where Broken Hearts Go and Other Poems edited by Egara Kabagi (Etal). Other three poems; “Loud Silence”, “The War Mongers” and “Boiling Point” have been published in Thorns Tears and Treachery, a Collection of Poems, Essays and Artwork on the Sudanese Civil War by The International Human Rights Arts Movement (IHRAM).

Tentatively titled The Last Flicker is yet another collection of poetry that is yet to be published.
