Crossroads/Chimenkwaze: Poems/Powèm - Softcover

Crossroads/Chimenkwaze is the meeting point of my writing in my native Haitian Creole and English. These poems now in your hands, I crafted them with passion. I hope that you enjoy them, and I hope that one day Danyson will be able to read them too. Rather than a compilation of translated poetry from one language to the other, this is the crossover of one culture to another with the uniqueness in writing that each one brings to the process. It’s giving birth to writing through writing.
