Published on November 29, 2019, this article is a testament to the power of poetry in Kenya's literary scene.

With a rich cultural heritage, Kenya's poetry scene has evolved over the years, with various poets contributing to its growth. From the early days of Swahili poetry to the modern-day spoken word, Kenya's poetry scene has come a long way.

However, despite its growth, Kenya's poetry scene still faces several challenges, including the decline of Swahili language and the lack of platforms for young poets to express themselves.
