“Salem ~ very much enjoyed the interview with Sherry Blue Sky. I thank you for sharing your insight both via interview, but even more so, via poetry. Write on, for your words spread peace, much like the planting of seeds, or trees "thayu, nyumba" ~ peace, angela”

“Whew! This poem is SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!! It says so much - I love the fire you bring, the vision you have that life can be better. This is very very powerful writing. It has the power to spark the reader's heart. I think Tororot is beaming on your path, young Kenyan poet!!!!! I especially love "peel off your tribal skin. Tell me about the tides, how it rises in tandem with man's kites".........fantastic writing! Wowzers!”
