Kenya’s First National Sports Poetry Anthology Published

by KenyaPolls

The National Museums of Kenya and *Jalada Africa* published Finish Line: Poems from the Kenyan Track on April 5, 2025—a 120-page anthology featuring 42 poets, including athletes, coaches, and fans. Poems cover triumph, injury, gender, and legacy. Sport is the body’s poetry—this is its voice, said editor Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor. Launched at KICC, proceeds fund school poetry clubs. Selected poems are now in KCSE English setbooks. A national poetry slam tour began in August.
