Fascinating....

A breath of fresh air - & colours - so desperately needed in this part of the world now - vibrant. Shall explore more. Thank you for gifting us another very special experience this morning ,( for us here ) Senghor might be a beginning

My French teacher introduced me to Senghor, but yes -- more his cultural texts than poetry, unlike Césaire's which seems much more available. I agree they're not the kind of poetry I'd easily gravitate towards reading, but their energy and the change of direction they represent feel vital.

thank you for refreshing my memory. the words of Senghor are so colourful, so vibrant coming out fresh from his heart.
