Kindle | Google Books

If you were an intimate friend to a gifted fine artist about to go mad, how would you feel, and who would you express your feelings to? These arresting and challenging questions are at the centre of the remarkable, provocative, and inspiring poetry collection, Gone Bananas, by John Ngong Kum Ngong, one of Cameroon’s prolific poets. Here, the poet goes beyond the fact that Frutang has gone bananas by indicting the society in which he grew up as being responsible for his state of mind. If you feel society can destroy people and want to be a crusader for a better one, then Gone Bananas is the collection for you. You can be certain that the thoughts and feelings Ngong brings out in this volume obtain in every society but are generally not attended to. What brings relief is sometimes bound by your pain. Gone Bananas will open your mind to who you are and why you exist.

Praise

Gone Bananas is an excellent compendium of poetry, peering into the state of humanity. The beautiful poetic cadences which alternate between tranquil but profound outbursts aptly capture the disturbing miasma of pain, bitterness, and grief over a falling humanity in a failing and flailing world.”

—Prof. Blossom N. Fondo, Poet and Literary Critic
