Description
Marry Me a Co-wife second edition is a collection of poems with diverse themes structured in the didacticism typical of folk poetry of women of East Africa, biting satire, vivid imagery, symbolism naturally found in vernacular art, and various female personas of modern social critique.
Set against the shades of conservationism in a contemporary world, the book uses oral parodies of (majorly) the Ameru people of Kenya to illuminate the dark side of masculine ideologies with subtle feminism.
Paradox, juxtaposition and absurdity are used like ornaments of womanhood to cast light on the ugly gaze of masculine ideologies around dowry, marriage, marital rights and more.
