about
Hey, thanks for stopping by. My name is Kato Bisase, I’m a Ugandan-American creative nonfiction writer, poet and essayist. Having been shaped by an upbringing that saw me living in various regions of the world, my work is often rooted in the spirit of cultural forensics, and guided by a deep curiosity for the connective tissue that holds the human experience together. I like to explore a range of tensions, among them: human depth in a cursory world, the African experience in the American context, the Black experience in non-Black spaces, and the beautiful anxieties conceived inside all of them. My words have been featured in PopMatters, Protean Magazine, Peach Magazine, Central Ave Poetry, and The Ana, among others.
