This poem is a bluesy-jazzy drama replete with metaphor, epic simile, analogy, personification, synecdoche, irony, satire, allegory, imagery, etc. These are some of the constituent ingredients with which the poet explores, vilifies, and turns topical events rocking the first quarter of the twenty-first century inside-out. From the beginning to the end, the poem flows non-stop like a river from its source to its mouth through discursive tensions and tangle of the world of politics: local, national and international.

    Bill F. Ndi / Bill FNdi
    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...

    « 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 Républi...

  • Peace Mongers At War
    Bill F. Ndi / Bill FNdi
    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 o...

  • Barbed Forest
    Bill F. Ndi / Bill FNdi
    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. ...

  • La Croisee Des Chemins
    Bill F. Ndi / Bill FNdi
    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 représ...
