The Exile of Dreams - Kama Sywor Kamanda - Bog

"The Exile of Dreams" is a work of prophecy. Enveloped in his "aura full of storms", the "walker of life" wanders on the roads of exile with, at the bottom of his memory, the heartbreaking memory of a "dying homeland". Thanks to expressive and vivid images, KAMANDA defines himself within the landscape that encloses him. He has become aware of his mission. He knows that he must "prepare a new bed for new ideas". It is a question of "leading the blind innocents of our world/Towards the single immutable light of the heart". Word of humanist, of artist to the eyes of which art is not an end in itself but a way towards the others at the same time as a tool to transform the world. A poet-philosopher, KAMANDA never forgets, in his lucidity, the reality of the forces of anguish and absurdity that never cease to work in depth the world like a yeast of misfortune in the heart of a poisoned bread. "No one is innocent in the conscience of the world", he notes painfully. And elsewhere: "my faith of man, it is the drama of the living in the nothingness". Doesn't it exist as a kind of plot of the gods against the creature?" Mark Alyn.
