Description

If bildungsroman was poetry, Frank Njugi may just have attempted it with his gazelle Risto Za Maswara. He starts with the poem “Benthic,” tracing his childhood in a Kenyan town Naivasha, humid with the smell of lavender, “a loop that transforms into a benthic,” he says. His poetry is mostly narrative and locked in with memorable metaphors. Here is a journey that is not yet complete but weaving a human story still.
