The Myriads of lived times

"Les Myriades des temps vécus" is a work marked by an extreme height of inspiration. Abstract poetry which progresses by reasoning and by fulgurance, it requires a measure of attention equal to that of the poet. Rigorous and dense poetry where the symbolism is never gratuitous, where the weight of mystery of the words is the exact equivalent of that of a knowledge to be revealed. Kama Sywor Kamanda is a poet of universal dimension. His poems translate a perfect harmony between the thought and the word, they lead the conscious towards the imaginary, they become "this parterre of visions" which remains in memory for ever. The poetry of Kama Sywor Kamanda is full of vitality. It is very strong in its lyrical movements. "She carries her soul like a sun on the ocean waves". The poet writes again: "I will go to the bottom of you to nourish your roots". Fertile and accomplished poetry, it is original and gifted with never monotonous impulses. It brings to the poetic creation a new breath. Mario Luzi
