Let the Old Man Speak and Other Poems...
This anthology is a three-part collection of forty three poems written by Odhiambo Kaumah, a teacher of Mathematics and Chemistry, a passionate creative writer and a community organizer for progressive social change.
The pieces, by the prolific author, are as diverse in themes as they are in structure. However, the inspiration behind the pieces is an old voice that attempts to speak sanity to the profanities of the fast-changing, socio-cultural and political practices. Issues such as marriage as it was and as it is, children-parent and youths-elders relationship in the age of "a dancing urban youth population" feature prominently.
Odhiambo Kaumah’s father, an old man with a good grasp of Luo traditional practices and as well a staunch Christian – catechist – inspired his conversational tone in describing everyday life in a rustic, African set up, in this anthology.
Dreams and Demons by Winnie Madoro, A...

The Black Facade by Rowland Lukano
The Black Facade is a poetry collection that seeks to address the deceptive nature of humankind in all spheres and the silver lining that shines hope on the rather hopeless. Presenting a society marked by a cocktail of smiles and frowns, Lukalo seemingly divides his poems into three groups; the first group addressing the political gimmicks in the contemporary society. The second group addresses the hiccups that lace the sweet experience that love is. Lastly, Lukalo has given a masterpiece of poems cleverly cutting across the social issues that are not uncommon in our society today. The question one asks is; how truthful are we in the pursuit of happiness and wellbeing of ourselves and others? And, are happy endings really existent?
About The Poet
Lukalo was born in September, 1994 in Simatwet, Nandi County, Kenya. He is the lastborn in his family. He attended Kaptik Primary School and Kaptik Mixed Day Secondary School both in Vihiga County. He later joined Moi University where he graduated in 2019 with a bachelor's degree in Education-Arts (English/Literature). He is currently a teacher of English and Literature.
His passion for writing began as early as when he was a form 2 student when he started doing short stories and poems. None of these was published though. He later started his blog, The People's Beacon, in 2016 which he uses to write poems and articles addressing social rights.

Whispers Over a Brewing Dawn by Maria...
This collection of poems journals the poet's transition from darkness into light. The author talks of his coming into the world many years after his birth. Such conversion is what he calls a brewing dawn. The resurrection from despair into hope, faith in God and arrangements for a journey into a brighter light, are wielded by the poems. The author tells his story using various themes, in a familiar manner, yet some of the pieces spell the exact environs of the author. Some poems carry the writer's attempts to brighten the way towards hope, for others.
From The Eyes Of A Child by Cornelius...
From The Eyes Of A Child, a poetry collection by Cornelius Kipkosgei, digs into themes such as childhood, love and marriage, war, the environment among other contemporary themes.
It fashions itself as a shelf of satire, sarcasm and dark humour.
The author opines that the littlest experiences are what makes a man. This book on various spectrums of life is worth a read dear reader.

The Song of a Blacksmith and Totems o...
The Song of a Blacksmith and Totems of Abagusii provides insights into two aspects of Abagusii that have not previously
been written in this level of detail. First are totems of Abagusii clans and how these came to be. There are insights that inform why, for instance, the Abagirango came to be associated with the leopard. This is in addition to the origins of some clans of Abagusii. Stories of totems of Abagusii clans are similar to stories
told by other ethnic groups that may have similar origins or interacted with Abagusii in their sojourns. Further research into how this came to be would unearth the relations that may exist among these ethnic groups. The second area is on spiritual matters, including phenomena, roles and some spiritual manifestations in the Gusii community. A number of spiritual roles
are discussed, including the purpose of these roles and how individuals were consecrated to assume them. The elaborate processes that were required for consecration underline the importance accorded to those roles. While many people may not relate to the work in this book, it nonetheless provides good insights into the society that Abagusii lived in.
