No matter the distance but our hearts think the same
Angela Kosta
Our voice is our advocate is an international book written by various poets from different countries. They ensemble their thoughts together and come up with this fabulous writings, the idea came from Charles Lipanda Mahigwe. Salvador cap bic who helped in empowering and bringing it to life, is the editor and the publisher of this book.
So, imagine we are living in a world where peace is already taken from us, in a world that does not know that war is an abomination to the victims, partition is now our form of life and technology is the way to bring us together, as authors of this book, we did not think much about the tittle, we named it our voice is our advocate meaning that as poets, we will always speak the truth even in days that our body is dying, we will rise our voices in times of war and peace. We gave it a subtitle of No matter the distance but our hearts thinks the same meaning that though we are from different places and somehow we have never met before but a poet’s heart bleeds poetry and so as the other, technology is one way to make us meet but through poetry, we are a heart that beats in one body. So this book talks about a lot of things and has different types of poems such as philosophical, poems, narrative poems and many more.
Our voice is our advocate is an anthology of different poets from different countries. It’s showing how poets have been a source of courage and hope to less privilege people and to any other human being. It’s showing how poets are the freedom fighters, the voice of the voiceless, and also show the love that poets share among themselves, how they interact literally.
Kindly slide in these writings with the hope that you’ll find one poem that’s your favorite:
