Malenga Wa Bara by Mulokozi and Kahigi

KShs890.00

Mwanzoni mwa miaka ya 1970 palitokea mgogoro wa ushairi katika nchi za Tanzania na Kenya. Makundi mawili, yaliyoitwa "wanamapokeo" na "wanausasa", yalibishana kwenye magazeti, vitabuni na kwenye makongamano kuhusu maana na maumbo ya ushairi. Miongoni mwa matokeo mazuri ya mgogoro huo ni kuandikwa na kuchapishwa kwa makala mengi na vitabu kadha vya nadharia na mikusanyo ya ushairi. Diwani ya Malenga wa Bara ni tunda mojawapo la mgogoro huo. Watunzi wa mashairi yaliyomo humu, K.K. Kahigi na M.M. Mulokozi, walikuwa miongoni mwa waanzilishi na washiriki wakubwa wa mgogoro huo. Hivyo mashairi yao yenye maumbo na miundo mbalimbali ya "kimapokeo" na ya "kisasa", ni kielezo cha kivitendo cha nadharia yao ya ushairi. Aidha, mashairi haya yanaakisi vizuri vuguvugu na mikikimikiki ya kisanaa, kijamii na kiitikadi ya miaka hiyo ya 1970.

Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman

KShs1,490.00
The poems of Leaves of Grass are loosely connected, with each representing Whitman's celebration of his philosophy of life and humanity. This book is notable for its discussion of delight in sensual pleasures during a time when such candid displays were considered immoral. Where much previous poetry, especially English, relied on symbolism, allegory, and meditation on the religious and spiritual, Leaves of Grass exalted the body and the material world. Influenced by Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Transcendentalist movement, itself an offshoot of Romanticism, Whitman's poetry praises nature and the individual human's role in it. However, much like Emerson, Whitman does not diminish the role of the mind or the spirit; rather, he elevates the human form and the human mind, deeming both worthy of poetic praise.

In the Hands of a Poet

KShs1,500.00 KShs1,300.00
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.
