re: kernals & ramblings: This features poem kernals and ramblings of poetic and non-poetic natures. The things that look like poems must necessarily be treated as incomplete pieces. often I share early drafts in this space which I go away and work on. If you are interested in featuring a particular piece, please email me on neema [at] ngwatilo[dot]com and ask me, and I will share with you my most current version (at my discretion.)

MOTTO: At Ngwatilo, we’re so cool, we let you see the stuff that’s not done because we recognize that every person’s becoming all the time.
