In the Beast's Alley

By Tontongi

My poems are expressions of my conscience and my affect, my state of being and feeling. They are as well testimony as far as they memorialize instants of the passing time. My poetry is a cry of conscience, an appeal to surpass bad faith, a reach to transcendence. I also identify with the indigenous peoples who, like the anti-colonialists Caonabo and Anacaona in Haiti, resisted the trampling of their rights by the newcomers. They paid the genocidal price as a result. Giants like Toussaint, Dessalines, Bol var, Marti, and Castro, Chavez, would continue the tradition of resistance.
