From Kenya to the World: Dialogue with the Poet Jerusha Kananu Marete
Dear planetary friends:
Today I have the great pleasure of introducing you to a remarkable poet, promoter and cultural manager, and of course, a teacher: Jerusha Kananu Marete. She was born in 1984 in Athwana, in the Tigania West constituency, Meru County, in eastern Kenya (she currently resides in Columbus, Ohio, United States). She speaks three languages: Kimeru, Swahili, and English. She is a woman deeply committed to art, her culture, and her mother tongue, Kimeru.
