THE POETESS …. THE DEDICATED WOMAN TO PEACE

Nova Kerkeb is a universal poetess who considers herself as a citizen of the world. She started writing at the age of 7 while she started writing her very first poems. She is a Graduate in economic sciences and studied business management as well.

She grew up in a multi-lingual environment and she is fluent in French, English, Spanish (literary Arabic and dialects) and has taken courses of Russian and Italian as well. As a child, Nova was very much impregnated by the principles of humanity, solidarity and freedom which are in her point of view very essential to Peace. She grew up in a family which was very dedicated to Africa’s liberation and was influenced by her beloved father. As a matter of fact, her father had widely contributed to the freedom fighting movement in Africa and has supported Nelson Mandela in his cause ever since 1961 at an early stage of the history.

After a long journey between Africa, Northern & Central America, the Baltics and Asia: she now lives in Europe.

She has published two anthologies, the first one dedicated to her father untitled “In souffrances tues” i.e “Untold sufferings” in 2015 and a second one untitled “…De rêves et de chimères de paix” i.e “Dreams and chimera of peace” in 2016.

TITLE OF THE POEM:

“Peace”

When some will wish hatred I will wish you love And when others will hate you

I will love you When they will leave you on the ground and will crush you with hooves

I will raise you up and offer you a home

For me too I am just passing through just like you, us, them?

If I had pearls I will share them with you

So that they replace your tears to replace your weapon

So that your heart becomes good

Compassionate with the hungry

I will break your chains and infuse within you Freedom and Love!

Review by Trevor Carolan, Associate Professor of Creative Writing, English Dept., UFV for Candice James:

“One of BC’s indefatigable poets and literary spark-plugs, Candice James is prolific, exuberant, and writes grownup poetry that’s seen its share of dust and joy out on the road. A poet with the long view her work is nature observant, freighted with tenderness and shaped by traditional form as well as metrical invention. There’s no artifice here: what you see is what you get—James is a poet of direct experience and recollected emotion. Old love, the blessedness of rain, things broken too long to be fixed, or the blue stillness of eternity—all are netted by her unquenchable zeal for poetry. From her opening epigraph from Lao Tzu through images of a Captain Morgan kind of night that only long years in Canada can truly understand, the music of what happens is present here in every bittersweet refrain.”
