Afrikaanse poëzie bij Black Label / African poetry at Black Label:

 

 

Ait Lemkadem, Youssef (Maroc), 2000, Atlassiennes d'amour et de paix, 123p., livre de poche, € 13,65

Loin des théories, des idéologies, des sectarismes, la culture amazighe apparaît ici bien enracinée dans son terroir: libre, spontanée, ouverte, fière d'elle-même. En nous offrent des poèmes "d'Amour et de Paix" comme l'indique le sous-titre de ce livret, cette culture apparaît vraiment libre de s'intégrer dans des ensembles plus vastes, sans frustration ni agressivité, apportant son originalité, sa note spécifique à la culture humaine. (Jacques Lévrat)

 

Barlow, Henry (2000), Building the Nation and Other Poems, 117p., paperback, € 13,25

Crafted with rare wit and humour, the poems in this book deal with a diverse range of themes such as political opportunism and sycophancy, war, the baffling paradox of god, the enchanting richness and beauty of nature, and the fascinating yet sadly agonising and intractable nature of love. (Fountain Publishers)

 

De Villiers, Gerald (ed.) (South Africa), 1998, Ravan Twenty-Five Years; A Commemorative Volume of New Writing (stories and poetry), 160p., paperback, € 16,75

This selection of new writing, by some of South Africa's most distinguished authors, ranges from memoirs and poems to short stories, essays and extracts from longer works. All of these writers have, over the years, been associated, in one way or another, with Ravan Press. (Ravan Press)

 

Essadki, Ahmed (Marokko), 1997, Strijdkreet van de aarde; Riffijnse gedichten (in 't Nederlands en Tamazight), 104p., paperback, € 9,75

In zijn gedichten pleit Essadki voor eerbiediging van de mensenrechten en voor sociale rechtvaardigheid. Hij besteedt daarbij bijzondere zorg aan de taal: door middel van zijn poëzie tracht hij de kennis van woorden en waarden van de oude rurale Berber-samenleving bij de jonge generatie levend te houden, en zo bij te dragen tot een positieve identiteit. (Dabar-Luyten)

 

Kabumba, Busingye (Uganda), 2001, Whispers of my Soul, 40p., paperback, € 5,00

"Whipsers of my Soul" are in effect outbursts of Busingye Kabumba's suppressed emotions. The poet's keen sense of the paradoxical is well captured when, in the same breath, these outbursts come out as whispers. The forty poems included in this volume traverse the major themes that have always been the hallmark of great poetry: man's relationship with God, death, love, beauty, politics, corruption and shattered dreams. (Nyonyi Publishing)

 

Kagimu, Joseph K. (Uganda), 2000, Tired!, 144p., illustrated paperback, € 9,80

Tired! is a poetic summation of Africa’s quagmire. It is based on the poet’s rural Uganda in the first half of the 1980’s where fear, machetes and gunfire ruled day and night. With great simplicity, the poet creates an orphan boy, Kasalo, and the spirit of his dead mother, Nalumu, in a country village, Kisagala, to movingly capture vivid impressions of his tired world. (African Books Collective)

 

Kiguli, Susan N. (Uganda), 1998, The African Saga, 61p., paperback, € 11,00

Seventy-four poems are included in this first volume, from the winner of the Editor's Choice Award of the USA National Library of Poetry. The author, one of Uganda's new women poets, here reveals a sensitive and lyrical response to events around her and her strong imagination allows her poems to develop through original but understandable metaphors. (African Books Collective)

 

Laroui, Fouad (Marokko / Nederland), 2002, Verbannen woorden, 47p., gebonden, € 13,95

“Verbannen woorden” is een werk vol uitgesproken gramschap, grimmige onmacht en pijnlijke verbijstering. In een poëtica vol stijlbreuken en anachronismen steekt Laroui de vlag uit voor de poëzie van het verbodene. De drieëndertig gedichten die Verbannen woorden rijk is, vormen een staalkaart van het humane denken en voelen van de ‘vreemdeling’ in een bruut veranderende wereld. (Vassalucci)

 

Miruka, Okumba (2001), Oral Literature of the Luo, 200p., paperback, € 19,95

This book focusses on the Luo, one of the principal ethnic groups in Kenya, and who dominate the area surrounding the eastern side of Lake Victoria. It presents their oral literature through four genres: riddles, proverbs, poetry and narratives. Other forms of verbal arts, such as tongue-twisters and puns, have been included to enhance the presentation. This book will be of immense value to the academic study of not only Luo oral literature, but also of their ethnology and culture. (East African Educational Publishers)

 

Olafioye, Tayo (Nigeria), 1999, Arrowheads to my Heart , 83p., paperback, € 9,80

These fifty-eight poems by an award-winning Nigerian poet are organised by theme: Africa and the World; Family; Human Nature; Tributes; Europe; The Land of the Brave. (African Books Collective)

 

Omoniyi, Tope (Nigeria), 2002, Farting Presidents And Other Poems), 101p., paperback, € 12,05

When fallen generals whose erection guns sustain figure they could run a nation…, the result is better conjectured as "farting presidents go: 'ffffff', 'goooof', 'pooooof', 'craaaap' easing prsessure between the clasps of cheeks first in small puffs of air endangering then in gusts that rock the boat of state… farting presidents test the waters before they shit on the head of all.". The poet in this serious, smooth-flowing and witty volume croons of our addities and pains of the recent past and the challenges of the future. (Kraft Books)

 

Quary, Malek (Algérie), 2002, Poèmes et chants de Kabylie, 222p., relié, € 20,00

L'auteur recueille de nombreux documents de la tradition orale dont il diffuse des traductions dans les médias (journaux, revues, radio). Dans l'édition, il fait paraître plusieurs ouvrages dont une anthologie de poèmes kabyles traduits en français et trois romans. Par-delà la sensibilité et l'esthétique des poèmes rassemblés, cette nouvelle édition de 'Poèmes et Chants de Kabylie', bilingue et complétée, constitue un document anthropologique de premier ordre. (Ed. Bouchène)

 

Recham, Ali, 2001, Linza. Poèmes berbères (au langue berbère/tamazight!), 85p., broché, € 10,55

Linza est un recueil aussi contradictoire qu'inachevé, il n'a pas pour objectif d'étancher la soif du lecteur, bien au contraire, il attise ses interrogations afin de le rendre lucide face à la fatuité trompeuse. (l'Harmattan)

 

Snyders, Peter (Zuid-Afrika), 1995, Verzachtende omstandigheden/Versaghtende omstandighede, 48p., paperback, € 8,70

Deze bundel bevat gedichten van de Kaapse kleurling Peter Snyders. Ze zijn zowel in het Afrikaans als het Nederlands afgedrukt (Gilbert Braspenning).

Peter Snyders, in 1939 geboren in Wynberg, Kaapprovincie, Zuid-Afrika, is een regelrechte vertegenwoordiger van de 'copieerlust des dagelijkse levens'. Maar wat een lust en wát een leven… (Jan Deloof in het "Woord vooraf")

 

Souéloum, Diagho (Mali), 2001, Poésies touareg. Le chants des saisons), 112p., livre de poche, € 15,90

A peu près de 175 poèmes traditionelles sont receuillit ici. Ces vivantes témoignages expriment l'amour, la foi, la misère et la joie dans la vie quotidienne des touaregs.
