Travel, love and passion, this is what Philippe Tiémassa-Grey, a young Ivorian writer, has managed to blend in his collection of poems entitled » Safaola « . This work, which saw the light a few months ago, is a first for the author.
Among a mixture of images from here and elsewhere, past eras and unacknowledged hopes, » Safaola « it is an invitation to travel. Through this work, Philippe Tiémassa-Grey communicates an ode to love, an ode to passion, born to revive, to heal, to make people love and dream.
Passionate, even in love with literature, Philippe Tiémassa-Grey started writing at the age of 10 and has never stopped to this day. This poetic art available to the author is therefore not the result of chance.
Born on January 12, 1988 in Jacqueville, Ivory Coast, Philippe Tiémassa-Grey managed to create a style of writing in the world of literature. This earned her, in 2013, a seat in the cabinet of the First Lady of the Ivory Coast, Ms. Dominique Ouattara.
In 2017, Pan-African media Financial Afrik ranked him one of the most influential young people in the country. let’s remember that » Safaola « it is his first job. Below is an excerpt from » Safaola « .
O princesses of beauty! Gracile or callipigi!
For which we will go to the tops of chained mountains
Under blessed, cursed, revolted or brazen skies
To your lustful sap rising on this page.
You the eternal woman who makes princesses, princes and kings
You who heal, kill and resurrect without magic and without law
You who never disgust, and never die in spirit
I want to incense you under the rest of the saviors sun.
