A delightful treasure trove of timeless sagacious sayings inviting the reader to reflection, meditation, and hope, as processes through which to learn, plan, rejuvenate and commune with the innermost self. This pleasurable read comes at times as the bitter pills of truth whose discomfort shows where and when one has reneged on his/her highest values or again has strayed away from his/her dreams. In an age when incoherence, noise, and chaos sur...

Traduire ce JOURNAL DE JOHN WOOLMAN eut été motivée par la fascination du traducteur avec le sacrifice que de nombreux petits gens ordinaires-souvent ignorés-avaient fait ainsi qu'ils continuent de le faire pour avancer les idées et les mentalités. Portant la lumière sur sa personne, ses acquis, son extraordinaireté mérite une version française. Il fut un infatigable chevalier de l'abolitionnisme de l'esclavage et prédicateur de l'égalitarisme...

Some Unsung Black Revolutionary Voices and Visions... gives readers new insights into the centrality of counter forces of the abovementioned material realities. The work is more of an ideal source for the ed...

Through a careful allusive poetic composition process, the poet takes on the aberrant oppression that a mad egocentric individual at the helm of a train forces upon his passengers and not without their complicity, and who while boarding the train are fully aware the train is one of doom. The poem comes across as the poet's reconstruction of the wrong turn in world politics from the wreckage and random distemper of a particular irate ruler with...

Bill F. Ndi's Sacred Songs is a collection of 95 sonnets deeply rooted in the tradition of spiritual testimony of faith. The personae in the poems are a creed of believers who are never far away from their God to whom be all glory. These poems are all in praise of the works of the Almighty God in the life of all. Bill F. Ndi in his characteristic simplicity and songlike style stays close to his humanist vision, and socio-political anguish, whi...

« La vérité blesse » ou encore « la vérité est une pilule amère à avaler » sont des adages depuis fort longtemps passés de mode. Cependant, dans La Logorrhée du poète ou l'Histoire des Camerouns en 33 gouttelettes, le poète évoque et symbolise d'une manière nouvelle et d'une esthétique fascinante le mal-vivre de Southern Cameroons/Ambazonia avec ses frères/voisins de la République du Cameroun. Le premier ayant choisi (en 1961) la fédération av...

Peace Mongers is much more than a collection or book of poems. It is the concretization of an indefatigable crusade for peace through lyricism that equally reads much more as a manifesto. The words, herein strung, dignify the victims of gratuitous violence, be it political, social, economic, or cultural. On the same scale the collection comes across as a virulent vilification of the perpetrators of acts of violence which to the poet is never j...

Barbed Forest draws from the socio-political character of society-specific societies sometimes. It navigates its way from the political to the familial and ultimately personal concerns of humankind before projecting the positive "humanist vision" of which the poet cum freedom songster dreams.

The poet highlights 'Love' as 'the Dream' none should let die.

Through her Letters written to Friends, to her opponents: priests, magistrates, politicians, including the king, Elizabeth Hooton leaves a captivating testimony of her fights for and of her activism in quest of the Truth, Freedom, Justice and equity for all as well as peace on earth and within the Quaker movement. Hers was a fight and quest far from any guided by egoism pure and simple or by personal interest. She was driven by her interest in...

Bill NDI's Bleeding Red: Cameroon in Black and White is another masterpiece from a poet with a deeply political vision. This collection of poems with Cameroon as the particular focal point is a paragon of socio-political and cultural alertness in verse that will get every reader on their toes. Bill NDI's world is fraught with topsy-turvydom. It is a world darkened by experience and a keen sense of the wrongs plaguing his beloved country. He po...

In order to fuel public interest regarding the fate that for long has struck this masterpiece cum adventure story, Bill F. Ndi references Fontenelle to justify his translation undertaking. It is a translation into French from the original English version, Adventures by Sea of Edward Coxere's which holds its import from the fact that it traces the major trends in the evolution of ideas and mentalities in the 17th century English society. This t...

Lorsqu'un anglophone prend le défi d'écrire en français et pour ceux qui estiment avoir le monopole du français, ce qui en résulte doit titiller le lecteur. Il s'agit de la poésie née de la plume de Bill F. Ndi. N'étant pas son premier recueil en français, La croisée des chemins : noir ou noirci ? frappe par l'usage que le poète fait des mots pour l'image des maux qu'ils représentent à fin de conscientiser le lecteur de ses propres méfaits. L'...

Elizabeth Stirredge's spiritual autobiography is a treasury of spiritual wisdom which paints all that which is needed to be a faithful servant of the Lord Jesus Christ and how God in His might works, transforms, and supports an ordinary soul to lead the life of extraordinary faithfulness. The text highlights Stirredge's intimate conviction as well as that of early Quakers. This translation is a welcomed venture because this is a central piece,...

From my friendships and loves are born the lines herein. My greatest desire is that we must learn to love to the best of our abilities and not better than the Best of our abilities. Requesting the latter would be demanding the impossible. For me, every heart is filled with goodness and love that only a positive posturing and channeling of their energies can warrant the transcendence of these terrestrial realities to flirt with their divine cou...

Secrets, Silences, and Betrayals is an invitation to readers to consider factoring in the often discarded or censored but useful information held by the dominated. The book's principal claim is that the unsaid weighs in significantly on the scale of semantic construction as that which is said. Thus, it legitimates the impact of the absentee in broadening and clarifying knowledge and understanding in most disciplines. In other words, just as ex...

In this volume Bill F. Ndi portrays life, death, and dying as one great adventure through which one would explore the limitless bounds of Life. At its best, the collection echoes the words of anthropologist Francis B. Nyamnjoh when he underlines that, 'one is only dead to particular context as a way of making oneself alive to prospective new contexts.' Ndi in this collection invites the reader to learn the art of living through the art of dyin...

The poems in this collection are adequate, with great lines. The rhythm is stimulating to all the five senses thanks to the use of multiple images. A lot of imagery in Vestiges gives a picture of a war front after a ferocious battle. The objects, animals, and images in the poems disorient and lead the reader to focusing on putting flesh to the bones than just getting the juice of the poems... The rhythm more than anything else carries the read...
