The Tears of the Earth

By: Ngong, John Ngong Kum

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Tears of the Earth, without pretense, practically holds court for environmental or eco-concerns with global ripples, staking a legitimate claim as a landmark tributary to the mainstream discourse and current debates on global warming and climate change, especially by portraying Africa, still trapped and anaesthetized in the web of post-colonial vassalage, compelled to mortgage her natural resources for savage exploitation with little or no regard to either environmental impact or sustainability. The poems are an expression of the author’s noble indignation at society’s governing elite for allowing collective natural resources “Mother Earth’ to be callously butchered, so ingloriously ransacked, liberally poisoned and gagged “Beyond Recognition” for mere lucre or “Midas’ touch” which procures and sustains the infernal binary of “Power and Pride” deified by our societies.

Nuptials At Vespers And Other Strains

By: Kum Ngong

Another exciting and confrontational poetry collection by the award-winning poet, John Ngong Kum Ngong. Nuptials At Vespers And Other Strains is his eighth collection of 44 poems. These poems particularly handle questions of identity, delineating the poet-persona's struggle to detach himself from the bard and be like any ordinary person in society. After a bootless tussle and a depression, he makes friends with the poet .Together they view their situation as a marriage and a prison full of pain, torture and suffering. They desire to end their affliction fighting together. There is a hint of regret, disappointment and even bitterness but the prevailing mood of love and concern spell hope in darkness.

Verses From My Roost

By: Kum Ngong

...this collection is both poetry and a reflection on poetry, on the creative process. In deceptively minimalist style characteristic of seasoned bards and a diction charged with intricate conceits, John Ngong Kum Ngong launches a scathing onslaught on the ruling barons of post-colonial nations who have privatised the nations' wealth and power. Dr. Gilbert Ndi Shang, Bayreuth University, Germany

Blot On The Landscape

By: Kum Ngong

Blot On The Landscape is John Ngong Kum Ngong's seventh collection of poetry. The central symbol here is blot which takes on complex and fascinating meanings in this rich collection of 42 poems. At a time when concerns for the environment increasingly receive global attention, the collection expresses and problematises the way in which the environment in particular and the landscape in general are treated. The poet decries the fact that there is filth everywhere; in mans thoughts, psyche and behaviour and nobody seems to care. Seen from this angle, human beings themselves seem to constitute the major blot on the landscape.

Season of Shadows

By: Kum Ngong

In this wide-ranging collection of forty-three poems, John Ngong Kum Ngong undertakes a critical and acerbic diagnosis of the socio-political situation in postcolonial Africa through a deceptively simple, aesthetically complex, and ideologically intriguing style. The multi-facetted and interrelated motifs of shadows and seasons, together with a plethora of literary devices such as paradox, suspense, metaphors, allusions, personification, irony, satire, humour, and contrast, are the weapons through which the poet drives home his message. The poems, in this collection, are not only politically correct but are also artistically profound. - Zuhmboshi Eric Nsuh, PhD Lecturer, Literary Critic, and Political Analyst

Zhoa An African Visionaries Settlement

By: Juluis Nang Kum

Although this book examines the culture of the people of ZHOA, it begins by highlighting the origin of the concept culture, its various definitions and its various characteristics. The book further reminds us of Africa being the mother of cultures. Talking about the rural culture of Zhoa, it should be noted that Zhoa is a small village found in Cameroon of the North West region within the Menchum division and is the headquarter of Fungom sub division. Zhoa is a good example of a rural African culture that is worth studying because, firstly it has not yet been too contaminated by foreign cultures due to its population and its strong attachment to ancestral symbols, rituals, values, heroes and cultural participations, and secondly Zhoa also witnesses many different cultures on its soil every year in its capacity as the seat of the Fungom sub division. This book therefore examines some basic concepts of culture such as its origin, its definitions, its spread, rituals, symbols, values, heroes and so on. The book is appropriate for entertainment, cultural awareness, the building of morals, socialization, trust, and so on. It is intended for students and cultural lovers.

Strange Passion

By: Kum Ngong

In Strange Passions John Ngong Kum Ngongs vocation and prime obsession remain constant the soul of the nation. Passion, the central symbol in this collection is the patriotic sentiment in its various manifestations. As a self-conscious artist, Ngong summons his audacious technical dexterity to sublimate the sauciness characteristic of his style and direct it towards ideological ends. The significance of his contribution is as much in the urgency, originality and authenticity of his message as in the full range and complexity of his style, and the depth and density of his thoughts.
