I was deeply moved by Okemwa's deep affection for Taiwan, and constantly amazed by his paradoxical expression techniques utilized in his poems to guide readers into the trap designed by his measure of insinuations. This ironic statement manner strengthens the positive and affirmative attitude and produces unexpected and surprising effects. - Prof. Lee Kuei-shien, Taiwanese Poet, Translator & Vice President of Movimiento Poetas del Mundo. 我被歐肯姆瓦對台灣的深情感動不已,對他詩中運用的逆說表 達技巧,以旁敲側擊的手段,引導讀者墜入他設計的圈套中, 更是不斷驚嘆,這種以反諷的陳述方式,加強正面肯定的態 度,產生令人意料不到的驚奇效果。 - 李魁賢教授,台灣詩人、翻譯家、世界詩人運 動組織副會長

Sabina and the Mystery of the Ogre

Sabina and the Mystery of the Ogre is a fast-paced thriller that winds through tales of encounters of mysteries and near-misses, underlining Sabina's unusual courage in the face of overwhelming sentiment of deeply-rooted traditional practices. ***** "Ogre! Ogre! Ogre!" women shouted. "Here comes the ogre!" voices rose. A vibrating snarl rent the air, sending Sabina into a tremble. Heavy footsteps came down on the ground outside with a force that shook the hut, like the initial tremors of an earthquake. Sabina wanted to scream, but her mouth became dry. She trembled violently. Her lips quavered and bit the earthen floor. Will she survive? Will she endure the bite of that ogre? No, she won't. ...

Coming Out of Isolation

The alarm and the horror that characterized the years 2020 and 2021 are fading fast, gone, or about to go, while the gentle footsteps of the Guardian spirit can be heard yonder. Images of spring, sunlight, blazing candles, brilliant flowers, and moonlit nights are taking center stage in our minds. There is hope for a better life, and a healthy situation in the world in 2022 as people start to gather on the streets, hugging and kissing; their mask-less faces display laughter, giggles, and beauty. In incredible abundance, life has come or is soon coming back, rushing in, bending down to pick up its old cloth. This anthology, Coming Out of Isolation: Poems on Resilience, Triumph & Hope, features poems written by poets after their endless days in lockdown and self-isolation. The poems herein express the poets' feelings and thoughts in a new way with a healing tonal quality, brighter and pleasant imageries, and new lively metaphors.

The GONG Of my childhood rings louder Its echo hurtles in, faster Catching up with me Every night in my dreams The bicycles, donkey-carts The farmers open vans Raced up and down this pebbly road Leaving behind trails of dust I sat here, on this anthill On a market day Counting people, donkeys I was a loner then The mantis as my teddy bear. "A very good insight into the writer's perception of life - as a child, the woes of African teachers, life and death, religion, prostitution, marriage, witchcraft, love, hatred and existence. "These poems are genuine; and convey the heartfelt experiences of a very sensitive, honest and articulate spirit. You can tell that Christopher is talented. "Poetry i...

蜂蜜酒上的暮光:漢英雙語詩集 CHRISTOPHER OKEMWA: Selected Poems

用「風的眼睛」觀看世界, 用「萬物的想像」書寫情感, 用「山川原野的憐愛」容納流離失所的孤獨靈魂…… 風吹過,即哼成一曲小調,肯亞詩人克里斯托夫以輕鬆的筆觸,描繪非洲日常的悠閒生活與寬闊野性的景色,讓讀者彷彿瞬間置身非洲。 他透過真摯的文字,書寫與家人朋友間的深厚情誼,並以聖經諷刺非洲政客捏造選舉騙局,悲嘆烏俄戰爭與疫情交錯下的血跡與腐朽。他用戲謔的語調上演一齣齣黑色喜劇,為這個動盪時代留下注腳。 路過的風可能想要沙沙作響 草或蜥蜴不小心掉到 水泥門廊上,翻身狂奔 穿過小徑,聽起來像有人急著回去 嘿!我喊出口,卻只有房間裡空蕩蕩 的回聲回應我 我已經歷過數次的到來 你的到來 還有那些回聲,像難以捉摸的夢 一樣降臨在我身上 並使我的感情虛假地興高采烈。 ──輯六•愛與美〈你的到來〉

Hermeneutical Narratives in Art, Literature, and Communication

Exploring the relationship between hermeneutics and the arts, including painting, music, and literature, this book builds on hermeneutics from a practical perspective, connecting this area of critical research with others to reveal how it is viewed from different perspectives. International and interdisciplinary in scope, this edited volume draws on the work of scholars and practitioners working across a variety of subject areas, themes and topics, including philosophy, literature, religious paintings, musical oeuvres, Chinese urbanscapes, Moroccan proverbs, and Ukrainian internet blogs. Focusing on the idea of hermeneutics as a discipline that can connect different areas of interest, the book offers an inside view into how the contributors 'interpret' it within their own academic remits, demonstrating its presence in qualitative academic interpretations and canonical contemporary research in humanities.
