Negrouche Samira - Solio - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Poetry that serves as an evocative portrayal of diverse landscapes and cultures. In these otherworldly poetry sequences Samira Negrouche reminds us that all life is movement where time passes through me / beings pass through me / they are me / I am them. The I is representative of one voice three voices all voices all rooted in movement as their bodies brush past one another brush against thresholds of time and space. Everything is in flux including the dream - like landscapes at the borders of borders as the poet seeks to recover parts of self and memory on both a personal and universal level. In these poems history - laden locales such as Algiers Timbuktu N Djamena Cotonou Zanzibar Cape Town and Gor e are evoked. Even the language expertly and sensitively translated by Nancy Naomi Carlson refuses to be pinned down as it loops back on itself. At times contradictory at times fractured in meaning syntax and diction the playful language is riddled with restless verbs. In the end the I takes on prophetic overtones instilling hope for the future.
