Book Review: Journalist Kuni Tyessi’s Being Twins

Kuni Tyessi holds a mirror onto the life of a single woman whose experiences as they connect with those of other women and men, became representational.

Her journalistic, social and academic essays and features of which this collection is an extension, have contributed in creating awareness about some of the social ills that affect women and children.

It is no wonder, therefore, that her poetry searches deeply into gender issues, hoping that through it, the torments of unequal representation, culture, unfavourable policies and other man-made limitations that women are made to bear will one day have lasting solutions.
