A Fallen Citadel and Other Poems is a powerful collection of over forty prose poems. The poems cover an array of issues ranging from the crisis that ensued after the 2007-2008 elections in Kenya to other social issues: loss of identity, poverty, hopelessness, and AIDs. These poems are powerful, vivid, full of imagery, and delightful. Some begin tragically, but end with hope; they begin with an everyday event, but end with a philosophical question about the meaning of life; and others are not only disturbing, but also thought provoking. Abalas poetic maneuvers in this collection are bound to delight and fascinate any reader.

In this semi-autobiographical novel, Imali tells an unforgettable story of Mary Upanga, a young Kenyan woman's journey to USA for her studies and her ensuing hardships. As a nave Logooli girl, Mary is ill-prepared for life outside her rural setting of Kerongo. She must not only confront culture shock, but also racial discrimination, which shutter her sensibilities. That is not all. With her social security card stamped in bold letters: "BEARER NOT PERMITTED TO WORK," she struggles to find employment to support herself. Later, she is forced to take on odd jobs as threats of deportation and eviction from her flat become a looming reality. It does not take her long to realize that there is more to life in America than she imagined. She is not alone. A sea of other new African immigrants face similar fates. Tales of young men who perish, unable to cope with their new reality, threaten her quest and dreams for success. In this land of the free, Mary lives a fragmented life. Will she survive or succumb to the challenges of life as new African immigrant to American soil?
