We are pleased to share that the powerful voices of East African women rise once more in the second edition of Marry Me a Co-wife, a poetic collection that dances between tradition and defiance. In this edition, Jerusha Kananu Marete reintroduces readers to a world where satire slices through silence, and oral wisdom becomes a vessel for feminist resistance.
Rooted in the rich performance traditions of the Ameru people, these poems unmask the contradictions and burdens carried by women navigating dowry, marital politics, and societal expectations. With sharp wit, vernacular flair, and symbolic nuance, Jerusha breathes life into characters who rebel not with fists but with verse.
This is not merely a book—it is a revival of heritage, a critique of patriarchy, and a celebration of storytelling as activism, it’s where folk poetry meets feminist fire.
📖 Available now—step into a world where the co-wife has her say.
