In Pursuit of Freedom and Dignity Through Creative Writing. A Personal Account
Journal Title: Studies in African Languages and Cultures - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 47
Abstract
My areas in creative writing are poetry and drama. To date, I have published four anthologies of poetry and three plays. The plays are Natala (1997), Kifo Kisimani (2001) and Maua Kwenye Jua la Asubuhi (2004). The four anthologies of poetry are Mchezo wa Karata (1997), Bara Jingine (2002), Redio na Mwezi (2005) and Msimu wa Tisa (2007). A fifth book of poetry, whose title has not been yet established, is expected to be published.
