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.
