Residence in Ghana to Perform, Explore, Reflect
The ancestral voices are reaching out to us, the people of Curaçao and Ghana,
They show us new opportunities to relate, to exchange, to share.
Pa Gya 2023, Wintertuin Curaçao 2023:
Solid first steps in our literary reconnection journey.

Nonetheless these poems through their distinct form, diction, exotic structure and lyrical pessimism speak up without tension. This collection is not an answer to the themes explored but a mystery of darkness begging for light.

The deep distance across the Atlantic
if confrontation did not bring them all down
I sought a quiet way to strike a final blow.
The Ultimate Feast
Such a good life lived
How better it could have been!
O what joys my regrets would have been?
Nights in the old Africa
These new nights in Africa we are always apart so once in a while like today let’s toast and chat about those nights that deserves a place in our heart
Wounds & Bitter fruit
The sea carried off our siblings, yet she also carried salt.
Rusting shackles and blood ties, turning our relationships to faults.
We The People
We are all Water and Earth. We are Water Spirits and Earth Spirits
Connected through the joyous wind and clicking cable
