The Rustle of Leaves is a collection of poems composed by Sylvester Wauye, a new poet in the Kenyan poetry scene.

A range of stylistic devices are deployed creatively to deliver the issues addressed, sometimes in a witty, sarcastic or perhaps an emotive tone.

In the Hands of a Poet
In the Hands of a Poet is a journey through the thoughts, emotions, and fleeting moments that make up our lives. These poems reach into themes of love, loss, faith, humor, reflection, and the quiet in-between spaces we often overlook. Some pieces ask questions, others offer warmth, and a few may sit with you long after you turn the page.
The verses in this collection explore what it means to feel deeply and to find meaning in the mundane. You’ll find poems that echo spiritual longing and others that laugh at life’s little ironies. There are verses about friendship, family, heartbreak, identity, and the slow unfolding of self-awareness. Some celebrate, some mourn, and some simply observe. The language is honest, sometimes playful, sometimes solemn—but always intent on making a connection. These poems do not demand agreement or perfect understanding. Instead, they offer space: space to feel, to question, to remember, or to simply be.
The Me In We by Patrick Lavince

The anthology, a four-faceted themed book on Healing, Self-Worth, Discernment & Rebirth, takes a reader on a voyage of a lifetime — through the waded waters of loss, canopy of grace, silent storms of renaissance, tides of hope, regimen of seraphic and divine nourishment and ripples of blues — all in their truest test.
Raindrops and Roses by Patrick Lavince

The Girl of Red Beauty
In these thirteen chapters of verse, titled The Girl of Red Beauty, Alfred Nyagaka Nyamwange captures voices of the people of Gusii, AbaGusii, through their songs, proverbs and play games. The voices pronounce AbaGusii philosophies, fears, moods, and tempo as they work and traverse the hills and the valleys that constitute the Gusii Highlands. The element of the poetry here emanates from the beliefs, norms, proverbs, sayings, wisdom, songs, stories, and the environment, all of which combine to produce a presence of living souls. The personas fully manifest in an active environment, whereby, at every strum of the lyre and roll of the drum, the verse comes alive. Welcome, sing and dance along.
What Others Say
Nyamwange writes in the trend of African oral tradition with his poetry using local imagery and idioms, and of simple and direct language. "It affirms valuable continuity with pre-colonial African culture synthesized with other cultures to create something unique.” – Dr. Chris Okemwa, Author, Poet and Lecturer in Literary Studies.
“The uniqueness of the anthology of this poetry lies in the thorough depiction of the culture of AbaGusii from different facets such as marriage, circumcision, religion, environment through poetry. The work resembles great poetry such as Song of Lawino and Song of Ocol.” – Dr. Andrew Nyongesa, Editor and Literary Scholar
