Every word, in these poems, has struck me like a musical note, melting into lines and verses, that echo in my deeps. I sleep, wake, and move in these words. Sometimes they put me to sleep, wake me up, and cause me to walk. I forehear people chanting them, dancing them, and lulling in them. Since they left my incubation, they have let loose orgasmically, never to return. They now float in the ether of the cosmos, may be to congregate and be born anew elsewhere.

Autorenporträt
Konfor Masanje, son of Nkunku Labu, Muda, and Shey Masanje Mbanyo. I list as the seventh, of nine siblings; four girls, and five boys. We were lucky to have been raised by two mothers and a father. I became a nomad at the age of five, left home, in search of the unknown, and later, in search of freedom; for self, and for a country, yet to be born. April 4th, 1957, at cockcrow, I was born in Binka, Northern Zone of Sothern Kameruns. My umbilical cord lies buried, marked by a boulder, in front of what was once a family shrine. When you go here, there are nine boulders, lined up, each representing my siblings. Each of us knows which one belongs to whom. Here I am, a sojourner, thousands of miles away from home, still a nomad, and still searching.
