Okello Bakari Otieno

Poet and teacher

  • 🇰🇪 Machakos, Machakos, Kenya
  • Machakos Press
  • 1984 to 2015

I'm a writer in Machakos. Children's books is my first love and food writing is my second. I run a small writing group that meets every second Thursday. I always make time for a proper cup of tea.

More about Okello

Some of my pieces still make me wince. Some, I'm proud of.
What gifts mean to Okello: A gift would give me a bit more time to write instead of taking on extra work.
