While making us discover, in all its brightness, his African sensibility through his roots, the poetry of Kama Sywor KAMANDA in The Resignations marks its kinship, its proximity and its equality with the modern man by testifying of the unity of the world conceived, built and destroyed by the man, of the world in its ways and deviations towards our time of today. The poetry of Kama Sywor Kamanda is the awakened word of our contemporary, which, while plunging into its roots and those of the world, is moving towards future times.
