    Alfred Orero

    ALFRED ORERO is a Kenyan author of exciting contemporary romance and witty poetry. He's a lastborn son, statistician, poet and a sports enthusiast. He does his best writing in planes, in his house on slow weekends and in faraway destinations that he likes to keep secret. Alfred loves to play intimate storyteller, taking his readers to places where a lot that is unthinkable here on earth is possible. His poems derive their power and influence from the freedom he gives words when he writes them. Alfred gives new angles to stories and unleashes creativity in the reader too, as he challenges them to understand why the multiverse might be a thing after all. He lives in Nairobi, Kenya, where when he is not writing, he makes numbers and data tell stories. All his books can be found on his website www.alfredorero.com

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      I am happy to write this part. I am excited to name those who made this work possible. It was hard and challenging but their support, advice and contributions made it real.

      Raph, I dared you to challenge me to pen this and you did not disappoint. Tino, your thoughts are published in here. Thank you so much. You are a gem. Mercy, you enjoyed my poems and gave me courage to write. I cannot thank you enough. To all friends who at some point encouraged, corrected or commented, your contributions were not in vain. This is just the beginning of a beautiful journey.
