Paul Dakeyo

Paul Dakeyo was born in 1948 in Cameroon, into a family originating from Bafoussam, and has lived in France since 1969. From 1973 he published in Paris a series of poetry collections, founded in 1980 the Silex publishing house, later renamed Nouvelles du Sud, to make African books known, and in the early eighties compiled anthologies of Cameroonian, African and South African poetry. His committed poetry speaks of exile, attachment to the homeland and the refusal to forget.
