The first published book of this fifty-something author (aka a'Kihoro) who found her voice when discovering that writing poetry was a life changing catharsis.
Amani na Mapenzi: Love & Peace, speaks in a spiritual voice to young adults, African-Americans, abused women, and just plain folks. It is a collection of her first poems, with a touch of “Mother Wit,” that draw upon life, agape love, self love, emotion and wisdom—at times with a sense of humor—from adolescence to today. In titling the book Amani na Mapenzi: Love & Peace, I made the choice to use poetic license and reversed the literal Swahili to English translation and put love before peace. We can't have peace without love.
