I am a student. I like language. At times, I hope it likes me too. But even an antagonistic relationship is better than none.

I appreciate your posts.
My name is Francis and I enjoy reading your blog though am not really a blogger.
I had one question. I am developing a travel site for Kenya and would want to have my link on your blog. Kindly let me know under what terms I can add a link to my site on your blog. I look forward to your reply.
I found you and your blog is just as perfect as I had imagined it would be!
I agree
Not many can write so well as you. I hope one day soon we will pick your book from the shelves; even though we may have to forego a meal of the ever-scarce ugali. Such a sacrifice would make such an acquisition all the more precious. I pray that your thoughts may enrich others as much as they have done me.
Amazing… I will contact you soon. Best wishes
Wangui wa Goro
P.S.
See my current poem in Pambazuka News in week of 6th February.
Your writting is intriguing, beautiful, witty….I am totally hooked
I haven’t laughed so hard in days and I’ll proudly introduce your page to my friends. Love the way you express yourself. That is what blogging is all about, brilliant!
Wangui.
You were sent here to inspire me weren’t you?
I’m glad I stumbled over this blog. Nice job.
Your tell the truth!
Seems we have a mutual friend. Sokari is staying with us for a couple of days. She says hi.
Warmly,
Fran
wow!!! i love creative writing and I think you r one of the best writers i have come across. What I liked about you is that in most of your writings you take an issue and write about both sides of it. You write as a middle man not picking any side but just inviting the reader to think analytically about the issue u writing about.
I admire your work. I am new to the art, but love it. Happy writing!
your writing is beautiful and precise.do you have a twitter account.
Thanks for reading. I am, sometimes, on twitter. I don’t know how to use 140 characters, though.
I’m glad I found your blog, it is great to stumble here, you have a fascinating way on how to tackle issues in your post, keep writing…. :-)
I like your “about” section. I like language. I think it likes. And, from what I’ve read so far, I’m pretty sure it likes you, too.
Check out my feminist For women right
I came here through your piece in the New Inquiry. Just wanted to share that I found it incredibly thoughtful, and brave (and not brave in the inane sense that you “shared” something about yourself; but brave in the sense that you confronted yourself with such confidence). You touched on many things that I, for a long time, struggled to put into words. Good luck on your journey.
I like your writings a lot
I too came here through “On Quitting” at newinquiry. I am deeply moved by your precision, your care in use of language and ideas and your evident commitment to being kind and generous while also demanding justice. Thank for engaging with this world–these worlds. And for valuing yourself, your time, your feelings as well as those of others.
This blog is powerful and gripping… As I continue to find my own voice in this antagonism with language and the world, I am glad I found your work… The writers in our collective hope you will check out our writing and that we can connect, if only through the art of reading….
Peace and Love to you
I thoroughly enjoy your work. Thank you.
Being a woman who has spent much time dealing with the politics of the world, I find your blog refreshing to read all the ponderings of a man of colour trapped in a life of lies as we the whites have also. Welcome to the bullshit of life Gukira. Warmly Samantha Bachman
Hey
I love your work. But more importantly and more pressing at this present moment, please tell me where your comment box went. It’s missing from the post about death and the one about grievances, both of which I was planning to comment on. thanks Kk
Some posts I’m not psychically ready for comments. You know? I think the grievances one is available. Let me check.
Hi Keguro,
Not the right place to comment (wanted to leave this comment under your poem “Shrinking”) but…
Please join me in inviting all Kenyans to make 28th September 2013, a day of community service, thanksgiving, mourning and inter-group interaction, in view of the events at Westgate Mall. Kindly read and reblog the following article if you agree with it. Please join me as well.

Thank you.
I think you’re some of the most delicate, subtle and piercing writers I’ve ever read.
My most profound empathy and respect for your beautiful, courageous and uncompromising work.
You are officially one of my favourite bloggers. I can’t express how powerfully your words struck me; thank you for sharing them.
Your writing is beautiful. I envy your talent and wish you the best.
Since your writing is truly inspirational, I have nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. You can see what I wrote about you here: http://elizaworner.com/2014/08/21/very-inspiring-blogger-award/
Thank you for the amazing writing.
Eliza, Thank you for the kind words and for the nomination. Both are incredibly generous.
You’re very welcome. It was a good excuse to share your blog and your words.
I loved your Aug. 15, 2014 post “hands up, don’t shoot.” My heart breaks.
Thank you for writing.
Zup y’all Dat be a fine blog you has!
Michael, only black people talk ebonics, you don’t! It’s our language that only we are supposed to use, if you use it, you steal something that is ours!
Thank you for your article on love in CESA! “Love is more than tolerance, more than equality, more than freedom. It is an embedding, a valuing, a possibility, a ʻrisking,ʻ a demand.” I appreciate the struggle with freedom in that, and I am also really enjoying the poetics of your blog. I wanted to share something in return: https://hehiale.wordpress.com/2015/05/11/some-baby-steps-toward-a-decolonial-love-story/?preview_id=336
