Peace is one of those rare words that nobody ever managed to gag. When this is sometimes arrived, they noticed the impossible imprisoning it is close. Deep in the most ruthless wars, it is at the heart of the soldier whose rags and stumps remain the only force, the leaven of restarting. In all cultures of the world and at all stages of its evolution, it has generated and forged one of the symbols as evocative and comforting than the others. Whether the pipe, the cola, the dove, the white band in time of war, shoot, hand outstretched, ... peace more than war arises from the dark ages as the first and The ultimate quest of humanity in motion. And this core value, supreme, writers regardless of their backgrounds and experiences that have to wear it, hopefully, write it, raise it as a monument. Each of the words written on cotton pages, each printed on intuitions expectancy books, each of the resonances sentences, which state this simple thing, French and many other languages, does that one syllable and is infinitely precious and bright. Poets, more than others, can not do anything other than "make" with their words, places and severed any quarrel brilliant one wonders where this state not because we are going badly, but the contrary because it's got to go more better. Land of poets land of peace is a wonderful experience, inspired by the bright initiative "Poets in Paris" which Mr. Yvan Tetelbom is the flag bearer. This poet activist who draws up the "freedom "Against the" tyrants live ... "is among those who believe that humanity can move forward, it can attempt a climb together, and the tops of the property. We could only put us in such a project and give it our "extra soul". For peace, for me who comes from Cameroon, is much greater than my country, much bigger than the world, it is of immeasurable stature. Outside the vast dream that bears the words, it is, from my point of view, impossible. For Kofi Annan Attah, Nobel peace in 2001, "true peace is much more than the absence of war." We will see in this book that peace is given by the poets Babel, it is an inter linguistic indicating that although it is unique, peace can say a thousand ways to use the corridors of many different words, return to the world its first song and lead us to the ideal blessed it is the oath. This book is a constellation of data that form the hands of new men round. Each of the compound to which each of whose names it bears the mark, each experience and belief that it carries, each of the pages he gives us is to flick the sign and proof that the world is a place where man must live, absolutely. So peace be with the world and with men!

Peace , it is one of these rare words that nobody is forever made a success of to muzzle. When that is some time arrived, the impossible one was noticed embastillement of which it is the leaven. With deepest of the most pitiless wars, it is, at the bottom of the heart of the soldier whose rags and stubs remain the only force, the leaven of re-starting. In all the cultures of the world and with all the stages of its evolution, it caused and forged symbols the ones as suggestive and comforting as the others. That it are of the peace pipe, cola, the dove, the white stringcourse in times of war, about the branch, of the tended hand,… peace more than the war emerges from the bottom of the ages like the first and the ultimate search of humanity moving. And this essential, supreme value the writers whatever their origins and their experiments made only carry it, hope for it, write it, raise it like monuments. Each word traced on the cotton of the pages, each intuition printed on the hope of the books, each resonance of the sentences, state this simple thing which, in French and good of other languages, holds only in one syllable and which is infinitely invaluable and luminous. The poets, more than the others, can nothing do others but “to manufacture”, with their words, of the expurgés places of any quarrel and brilliances of this state where one questions oneself not because one is badly, but on the contrary because it is necessary that that is more better. Ground of poets ground of peace is a marvellous experiment, inspired of the luminous initiative of “Poets in Paris” whose Mr Yvan Tetelbom is carries it torch. This poet militant who draws up “freedom” against the “alive despots…” is those which think that humanity can advance, that it can test a rise together, towards the summits of the good. We could only register us in such a project and bring our “supplement of heart to him”. Because the peace, for me which come from Cameroun, is much larger than my country, much larger than the world, it is of incommensurable stature. Out of the vast dream which carries the words, it is, from my point of view, impossible. For Kofi Attah Annan, Nobel Prize of peace in 2001, “true peace are much more than the absence of war”. One will see in this book that the peace suggested by the poets is babelic, it is a meeting inter linguistics: what shows that although it is single, peace can be said in thousand manners, use the corridors of the most various words, restore in the world its songs first and lead us to the happy ideal of which it is the oath. This book is thus a constellation of hands given which form the round of the new men. Each worm which makes it up, each name of which it carries the mark, each experiment and of the convictions that it carts, Each page That Gives us to divide it Into sheets Are the sign and the proof That the world is a place Where the man Must live, absolutely. Malthus is Peace with the world and the men! Jean-Claude AwonoPresident of the Round of the Poets of CamerounYaounde, CamerounAugust 12, 2007

Peace is one of these unique words that no one has ever been gagged. As sometimes happened, has stressed the improbability of imprisonment which is the seed. In the depths of the most ruthless wars, lies at the core of the heart of the soldier whose rags and journals are the mere strength, catalyst for implementation. In all world cultures and at all stages of its evolution, has inspired and shaped symbols, each more evocative and comforting than the other. Question of the peace pipe, the kola, white turban in time of war, bouquets, hand outstretched ... peace more than war arises from the end of time as the first and last search for humanity in motion. And this core value, supreme, writers, whatever their origins and their experiences have been, expected, writing, honored as a monument. Each of the words strung together in the cotton pages, each printed insights in the hope of books, each of the resonances of phrases, set out this simple thing, as in French and in many other languages, fits in a single syllable inordinately valuable and bright. Poets, rather than the other, can not do more than "make" with words, places redacted from any fight and bright in this state in which one wonders not that bad but rather because it has to be even better . Land of poets, a land of peace is a wonderful experience, inspired by the glittering initiative "Poet Paris" which the Lord is the champion Yvan Tetelbom. The militant poet who stands for freedom against the "tyrants ... living ", is among those who believe that humanity can advance, you can try a joint ascent toward the peaks of the good. We had merely to adhere to such a project and make our "extra soul." For peace, for me I come from Cameroon, is bigger than my country, the world's largest, has an immeasurable extent. Outside the dream that entail excessive words, is, in my view, impossible. For Attali Kofi Annan, Nobel Peace Prize in 2001, true peace is more than the absence of war. We will see that peace in this book given by the poets is Babel, is a linguistic inter-meeting: showing that even a single, peace can be said about a thousand ways Brokers using the most diverse words, returning to the world their first song and lead to a happy ideal of which is the oath. This book is therefore a constellation of interlocking hands form the circle of the new men. Each of the poems that compose it, each of the experiences and beliefs that drag, each of the pages you are browsing gives us the sign and proof that the world is a place where man must live, unconditionally . May peace be with the world for and with men. Jean Claude
