Barasa Okello Kato
Poet and teacher
- 🇺🇬 Gulu, Northern Region, Uganda
- Highland Review

- English, Swahili
I write local history. My work has appeared in Highland Review and a few places that have long since closed.
I write best early in the morning with a pot of tea. I bake for the whole street at New Year.
I'm still learning every day.
