Gachagua's is a world fully grounded in the postmodern Kenyan cultural cauldron, a world in which people speak with \"satellite mouths,\" with bodies that are \"singing machines,\" and in which the most we can do is \"collide against each other.\" Here light is graceful, and we glow like undiscovered galaxies and shifting matter. And here as well, we find new expression in a poetry that moves as we do. Clifton Gachagua is a screenwriter, filmmaker, and translator based in Nairobi. His poetry has appeared in Saraba and Kwani? 06.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClifton Gachagua is a screenwriter, filmmaker, and translator based in Nairobi.
