As a Belgian citizen, I had to come to terms with the colonialist rape of the Congo in the 19th century and the genocide of several millions of its people so aptly described by Adam Hochschild in his well-documented book entitled King Leopold's Ghost. However, as a specialist of the links between art and peace always looking for thera- pies and glimpses of hope, reading Nomad is a refreshing experience. A new generation of young Congolese artists is standing up to show the strength of human creativity. This wonderful collection of poems enables the reader to identify with the writer, using a subtle mixture of concrete and abstract descriptions. Prof. Olivier Urbain(Soka University/japan)NOMAD represents a song of joy in the midst of an environment that would have embittered the bestof us. Through Nomad,Rais sings a pure song of hope, of religious dedica- tion, and of the glory to come.
