Invisible Optics
Invisible Optics is written using prose or poetry depending on the intensity of a particular experience. According to my mentor Prof. Arthur Flowers this is, “Dancing on the borderline between genres.” Or as Prof. Evan Mwangi would humbly put it, “Genre-defying.” Also noted by Dr.Marisella Ouma is the effort I have made to carry the reader’s imagination from the stage to the page.
In this book, there are Seven sections describing various aspects of my life. My family’s frequency introduces you to the family setting, in all fairness to both parents, I never missed a roof, a meal or even clothes on my back. The poetry in here expresses the human condition of conflict between a father and his firstborn son. It also indicates the desire or lack thereof to resolve it.
