From A Bird's Eye view: Life through poetry

I wrote this book to express my love for poetry. My goal is to take my readers into an enchanted world of poetry, to discuss societal issues through poetry. This book was written over a period of ten years. These poems are inspirational, they leave the reader with points to ponder. The book is inspired by real life experiences and stories from those around me. The book covers a wide range of topics from family dynamics, love, oppression, xenophobia, discrimination. It touches on issues, that people are not comfortable sharing. This is a great book for English language or Literature teachers, even professors. It's for any language expert, you can use it in your workshops and seminars. Theatre and drama practitioners you are welcome to use it in your classes too. Most importantly it's for anyone who enjoys reading and likes poetry or wants to "try out" reading modern poetry.The book cover was painted by a great friend, whom I consider "a sister," a Kenyan painter and art entrepreneur Wanjiru Kibera. We met in France 10 years ago. So I hope this book will be a full artistic encounter, that will enrich and touch your soul. I hope it will cause reflective thinking.As, for me the author, I have a Bachelor's degree in French Literature, Theatre and Cinema, Audio-visual, both practical and theoretical (Arts du Spectacle) from the prestigious French University : Université de Grenoble Alpes.
