Petite fleur du ghetto | Jean D'Amérique
post image

Having discovered Haitian poet/playwright Jean d'Amérique a couple of weeks ago through Opéra poussière, I am now reading his bilingual French/Haitian Creole poetry collection Petite fleur du ghetto / Touf flè nan pikan. It's very accomplished. And I found a video on YouTube of Gaëlle Bien-Aimé reading his poem (p 22-23) in memory of actor and photographer Régina Nicolas, murdered in 2015.
