What
makes me write poetry? Several factors, I presume. But I have
come to realize that Ethiopia, my country, is the main source.
With its rich spiritual and literary heritage, I see Ethiopia
as a land of unique ideas that have yet to be expressed and
studied. I believe it is a land of God’s miracles that
is continuously tested yet possesses an amazing ability to
persevere. It is a land that is yet to be admired and understood.
Ethiopia . . . my source.
