The Transparency of Shadows

By Kama Sywor Kamanda

As a poet, Kamanda has brought new life and grandeur to contemporary poetry with his rich language and mastery of metaphor. His powerful verses blow sometimes like strong winds, sometimes like breezes, which he himself often compares to ocean waves. Our poet is above all a man, and this man is aware of his place as a human being in the system we occupy; he pushes us to question ourselves on the metaphysical questions properly human: love, death, the eternal quest for happiness. But like any self-respecting poet, he does not bring man to these questions by means of a rational and augmented discourse; more poetically, he makes him feel them.
