I guess it's the period anthologies & journals curators move anyhow. Weganda review accepted my poem & we concluded some edits. Then came the founding editor who insisted I changed all "father" in my poem to "Father." I asked to know why bcos it changes the character of my poem.

Had to come back to this poem after reading the news. After 2 months approx, the hunt ends, and we hope the kids can still chase, and that the grown-ups let them chase.

I am still roaming the rooms of my mind tho'

Beautiful piece. Each story in this book is written with care. Different structures are explored: family, faith, culture, society, and more.

[Lolwe KE @LolweBooksKE]

‘A Kind of Madness’ unravels the tensions between mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, best friends, siblings, and more, inviting us all to consider the question: why is it that the people and places we hold closest are so often the ones that drive us to madness?
