In 2016, five women of different generations and life experiences took a month-long trip that changed the course of their lives. With perspectives from the African diaspora and American travellers, Seasons of Sisterhood showcases how a beautiful sisterhood bloomed in Cameroon.

The Radio and Other Stories
On moving into a new apartment abroad in his Bavarian hometown, the narrator realises that some of his possessions and elements of his new neighbourhood open a window into a flurry of memories, serving as allegorical threads to his childhood, self-consciousness and discovery of the world. What begins as a personal narrative quickly cedes to a social archaeology, inviting the reader/listener on a homegoing journey in the backdrop of Cameroon’s tottering democratic trajectory. Modulated with poetry and music, The Radio tunes in to diaspora, home, nation, education, existence, religion as well as Mbum popular culture, showcasing creative re-appropriation and re-mixing of global trends and icons in specific communities.
Give Me Room
Another new and exciting collection of poems from one of Cameroon’s foremost poets, x-raying life, society, politics, and the role of poetry in society. In 48 well-crafted poems written in impeccable English, John Ngong Kum Ngong dissects, in unflattering terms, his contemporary environment, “a strange sickening place fit for beasts and monsters only,” where “everybody puts on freedom but not every person is free.” Through carefully selected metaphors, symbols, and imagery, the poet lays bare the incongruities and incoherences that occur in this space while emphasising the role poetry can play in bringing about a new constellation. These poems drip with the sadness of betrayal at the turn of events in a postcolonial context where waste, oppression, and highhanded politics are the norm. But the poetry equally captures moments of hope where the downtrodden rise to the challenge issued by poetry to break off the yoke of oppression.
