Mukete writes: I am a Cameroonian born on 16 March 1990. I grew up in a suburb village in Cameroon called Munyenge, in Muyuka Subdivision, Fako Division of the Southwest Region, where I did my primary school. I finished secondary school in Limbe, in the same region. I now reside in Douala, the economic capital of Cameroon. I fell in love with poems because I was inspired from the inside to make a change that will be invaluable for some now, but for all at later times—though I find the task to write what I love very difficult and challenging, bringing that big voice out.

Once I’ve finished writing, I will fold this letter up and tuck it into the Tristram you kindly loaned me (may it be our Galeotto … ). I’ll knock on your door, at which point I will most likely encounter a puzzled maidservant, who will ask who in the world I am, and I will explain that I am returning a book you were kind enough to bestow on me (generous creature that you are and clearly down-on-their-luck weatherworn would-be poet that I am).
the trees were softening, their bark for the hungry to scrape and scrape and spread it on whatever bread they could beg or bake
i must warn you before all else / before you poke and prod
