Thirty years ago, a group of islands sharing Creole as their everyday language decided to establish an International Creole Day: Bannzil kréyòl was born. From now on, from one ocean to the other, October 28 is an opportunity to take stock and celebrate Creole culture. This year again, true to his practice, Max Rippon contributes through his pen to the promotion of our language.

To mark this turning point, he offers us, more than an unpublished poem, a collector of his Creole poetry since Pawòl Naive until Morriña . Let us allow ourselves to be carried by the poet into the metaphorical subtleties of this language so delightfully embraced, and which gives us a part of its land of Marie-Galante to share.
