What started as a high school project...is today a published book! I'm thrilled to share that my first poetry collection is now live on Amazon - in both digital and print. For readers in Kenya, the print edition will be available locally very soon! ✨

Before my new poetry book arrives, let’s go back in time. Over 25 years ago, I wrote my first poems for a high school project. Looking back, I see the spark that started it all. Here’s a page from that early beginning - the one I’m least embarrassed to share! 😁

Born in Kenya and raised in the United States, A.K. fell in love with poetry as a teenager, when the words of Langston Hughes first spoke to him. Since then, he has used poetry to give voice to feelings and ideas too complex for ordinary speech.
