Reseña del libro "The embrace of words (en Inglés)"
Kamanda speaks to us of hope, death, but also of life and especially of its fatality, its trials, with great sincerity. Subtle and delicate poetry, finely constructed, with metaphysical accents, that make the depth of the reflection and the evocation of eternity moving. One finds the suffering of the uprooting, and a search of the love whose modesty often incites the poet to the silence. The "embrace" is here the deepening of the real, the "words", irremediable symbols of the awareness, the appropriation of the cosmos with its standards and its mysteries, thus of the elevation of the spirit towards the absolute. On both sides of his prose, the novelistic fiction leads us to the discovery of the myths and traditions of the Black African world. Kamanda intertwines Western and traditional culture, which comes from his father, his studies and his presence in French-speaking countries, with the magical sensitivity and fantasy of his mother. He offers us visions of an almost virgin country that his "exile" interrupted too soon.
