| Publisher Description: Lorsqu'un anglophone prend le d fi d' crire en fran ais et pour ceux qui estiment avoir le monopole du fran ais, ce qui en r sulte doit titiller le lecteur. Il s'agit de la po sie n e de la plume de Bill F. Ndi. N' tant pas son premier recueil en fran ais, La crois e des chemins noir ou noirci ? frappe par l'usage que le po te fait des mots pour l'image des maux qu'ils repr sentent fin de conscientiser le lecteur de ses propres m faits. L'emploi de mots dans chaque vers est juste, propos. Sur le plan esth tique et rythmique ces po mes veillent les sens. English Translation of Blurb When an Anglophone takes up the challenge to write in French and for those who think they have the monopoly of the French language, the result is exhilarating for the reader. This is regarding poetry born of the plume of Bill F. Ndi. Though this is not his first collection in the French language, The Crossroads: Black or Blackened smacks with the poet's lexical usage and the imagery the words evoke to awaken the reader's conscience of the misdeeds plaguing the society. The word choices are just and propos. Esthetically and rhythmically, the poems in this volume jolt the reader's senses. |
