This collection of poems represents poetry at its blossoming stage, when youthful passions join with the existential quest to create meaning. Twenty four poets contribute to this volume and almost all of them express love as a longing that entails both disappointment and pleasure in life.
As Haiti commemorates the bicentennial of its independence from colonial bondage—an independence gained through valorous struggles and sacrifices on the part of former slaves—as the country is still mired in a self-destructive, perennial power struggle within the petit-bourgeois and dominant classes that have been controlling the nation’s destiny since independence; and as the whole world is engulfed in wars of domination and alienation, it is refreshing to hear these new voices of poets who reclaim what is of utmost importance in life: the right to dream. Poetry is the ultimate force that sustains hope when everything else is in peril.” —Tontongi, poet, editor of the trilingual journal Tanbou. Koleksyon sila yo reprezante pwezi nan moman jèminasyon li, lè pasyon jenès jwenn avèk chache-fouye ekzistansyèl pou fòme siyifikasyon. Vennkat powèt kontribye nan koleksyon an e preske chak grenn nan yo eksprime lanmou tankou youn nan tout bagay ou dwe viv nan lavi ki gen malè ak bonè. Nan momen Ayiti ap komemore de san zan endepandans kont kòd mare—yon endepandans esklav yo te pran nan yon lit chaje ak laglwa e sakrifis—nan moman peyi a toujou makonnen nan lit destriktif pou pouvwa nan sen klas ti-boujwa ansanm ak klas dominan yo k ap goumen pou kontròl destine peyi a; nan moman mond lan ap pyetine nan lanfè lagè pou dominasyon ak alyenasyon, sa fè nou plezi wè vwa jèn jan ak jèn fi sila yo ki vle reklame sa ki pi enpòtan nan lavi yon moun: dwa pou li reve. Pwezi se dènye ranfò ki kenbe lespwa lè tout lòt bagay ap maspinen nan danje». —Tontongi, powèt e editè jounal trileng Tanbou |
