My name is James Niyomugabo, I love expressing my thoughts and ideasthrough writing and poetry because I believe it has a certain element thatallows freer freedom. My style is one that has the power to evoke thoughtand spark ideas even when I read it myself. I was born a refugee and grewup in a refugee camp, and the hardships of my childhood life forced me tostart thinking deeper at a young age. Another thing that adds to mydiversified thought is continual migration and movement.From Tanzania to Malawi to South Africa to Canada over a span of just5years.This multinationalism has enriched the poetry I write with a variationthat has multidimensionality capable of encapsulating life's major themes.Change is the most conspicuous, change from one form of life and culture toa different one and the need to acclimatize, this accounts for the nature ofJamonieahn poetry as it often constitutes of challenging poetry which asksthe reader or audience to make informed choices to unlearn what theylearned for them to learn. Life and death, love and hate, success, religioneducation politics are some of the major themes. Basically, I speak abouteverything about everything.I will be releasing an Anthology one by one until we exhaust all 10 of them,each containing 10+ poems.Apples of gold in pictures of silver is based on Proverbs 26, which says "aword fitly spoken is like apples of gold I picture of silver". I hope that thisfirst series will build your anticipation for the other nine anthologies. Words inover 100 poems that will be a word fitly spoken, word rightly spoken,wordpowerfully was spoken that will lead upi closer to the WORD, ENJOY!
