This is only a slide show
And if you want it, borrow mum’s hoe
Stools are not meant for the faint-hearted
So don’t start rubbing it in.

- Tikum Mbah Azonga
- I speak over twenty languages. I have native-level command of both French and English. In fact, after my higher education in France, I was recruited by France and seconded to a High School in London as a "French Mother Tongue" teacher, or what is commonly referred to as a Foreign Language Assistant. I am by training a journalist, teacher of French and Spanish, as well as a translator-interpreter. I studied in Cameroon, France and England.I have criss crossed Africa and Europe.I have worked as a journalist and teacher of French and Spanish in some United Kingdom High Schools, but especially in London. Today, I teach journalism at the University of Buea in Cameroon. I have published books of poetry in English and French, some of which are official text books in Cameroonian schools. I am currently working on a collection of poems in Spanish and another in Ewondo, a variety of the Beti language spoken in three of Cameroon's ten regions as well as in parts of neighbouring Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.

Poetry is not a domain that belongs to only the arts or students of literature. All of us use poetry daily, perhaps without realizing it. And if we come to think of it, a scientist writing poetry does so from a very rich and fertile background for poetry. The most poetic of the gospels is that of John. Yet we are told John was a medical doctor.
