Brief Summary
'When I learned how to walk & other poems', is a compilation of 17 poems written by myself (I have been a performing spoken word poet in Nairobi for the past 5 years, and this is my debut poetry book).
The poems in this book span a wide range of topics, from African power, love, identity, mental health, and the inevitability of heartbreak.
The book is a small one, 61 pages, however, it contains poems that are meant to be re-read as many times as the reader wishes. The book is largely in English, and contains a few lines in Swahili, with one of the poems being entirely in Swahili.

Pauline –
This is one very intriguing novel. I just couldn’t put it down – read it in less than 2 days. The flow of the story is awesome and makes me believe true love is real and when blessings come your way nothing can stop them. I recommend everyone to read the Cocktail from the Savannah.
Tony G –
Right from the first paragraph, the story sucks you into an exhilarating world that’s laden with twists and turns. From the city to the Mara, age-old culture coexisting with modern day trends. Cocktail from the Savannah had we wishing to fall in love all over again, in the Mara no less.
