Video: "Invocation For Coming Years" by Ngwatilo

This is an excellent poem by Kenyan poet Ngwatilo. I sense the spirit of Ngugi wa Thiong'o forming in her work, and I fully embrace and agree with it. I would love to challenge her to do a poem(s) in Kikamba (her mother tongue) and maybe other Kenyan languages. I don't know what she would say about that.
Slide show images from across Kenya taken by Ngwatilo during her "This Kenyan Life" trips in 2012-2013, except the "Writers Unlimited" image by Bernice Chauly.
If am trying to get my hands on a copy of her poetry CD. If anyone has one please let me know. I would like to review it for the blog, thanks!
