Wekesa Barasa Opio

Poet and teacher

  • Cedar Grove Gazette

I write investigative reporting. My work has appeared in Cedar Grove Gazette and a few places that have long since closed. I run a small writing group that meets every second Thursday. I try to remember everyone's name.

More about Wekesa

Some of my pieces still make me wince. Some, I'm proud of.
What gifts mean to Wekesa: I'd put a gift toward a research trip.
