  4. He writes, "I, personally, find contemporary German poets like Huchel, Lisel Mueller and Sarah Kirsch inspirational in many ways. The list is longer inside Africa, including among many notables Okot of Uganda, Anyidoho of Ghana, Okigbo of Nigeria, Serote of South Africa, Mapanje of Malawi, Mbizo Chirasha from Zimbabwe, Sitawa Namwalie of Kenya and various Swahili poets. The second source is a popular proverb among the Fulfude communities of Central and West Africa. These two regions of our beloved continent are home to witnesses who have demonstrated to the world human resilience in the face of strife. I believe that even eggs of stone can hatch and bring ro life a new hope in a land where people do not give up in their struggle for social justice and democracy...." – Wanjohi wa Makohha, Nest of Stones: Kenyan Narratives in Verse.
