Jam On Our Faces, is a poetic odyssey into past, present and future thematic concerns to man ranging from intimacy, fashion, death, space-travel, divorce, religion, disease, child-birth etc. The book is packaged in a hundred-page volume that will leave you craving for a second and even third read. The publication has attracted quite some discourse in the Kenyan mainstream media. Evan Mwangi, a renowned literary critic writing in the Sunday Nation newspaper-a leading paper in East and Central Africa-of May 25 2014, termed it THE BEST OF MODERN VERSE.He also posited that the work posesed exceptional humour ''...even when the writer is angry at the conspicuous fetishes we have come to worship as the basics of life... On the use of language in the book, the veteran critic of Literature thinks that they are written in simple language that is knotted into fresh metaphors to signal the multiplicities that define our existence. From its eloquence and sensitive treatment of difficult topics, including the poet's own profession as a banker.... the book is perfection in verse form, he added. There is a French tinge to the discourse but nothing to worry over for French non-speakers since meaning will surely be revealed as they delve deeper.All in all the book is an interesting fresh read.
