Here on our road a great mind sings freedom to open wings in clouds of cyanide over horizons; mists at crusted duties serving deities of latest power of invaders come to drink our Nile. Khainga is our new Moran!" - Prof Okello Oculi, Ugandan Poet and Distinguished Professor of Political Science "Khainga has shown his unwavering fidelity to traditional forms of poetry." - Lennox Odiemo-Munara, Literature Lecturer, Egerton University "By returning to traditional forms, rhymes and language of poetry, the contemporary Khainga breaks convention in the most simple, profound and elegant way - this is what makes his work distinctive." - Kadija Sesay, Sable LitMag Publisher/Chair African Writers Abroad/ - Chair International PEN Women Writers Committee "Khainga O'Okwemba's narrative songs do not come to us in a condemnatory voice. They are rendered in quiet satire, most of the time pleasing to the ear. He constantly redefines his role as a poet, recording as he does the slices of life and expressing life's message in the ever-renewing medium. Khainga O'Okwemba is the embodiment of the new subtle optimism which the African requires to face the new forces in his own ironical words." - Chris Wanjala, Distinguished Professor of Literature, University of Nairobi
