CRYING IN Hiccoughs Alobwed’Epie “he resorts to crying in hiccoughs and invites the blind, deaf and dumb brainwashed praise-singers to join him in singing his little songs” Crying in Hiccoughs is a graphic presentation of the more realistic phase of Africa’s politico-economic and historico-moral evolution in general, and Cameroon’s, in particular. From the colonial to the postindependence era, the poet sees nothing worthy of praise-singing and handclapping. So, he resorts to crying in hiccoughs and invites the blind, deaf and dumb brainwashed praise-singers to join him in singing his little songs so as to expose and challenge the demagogy. Alobwed’Epie was born at Ngomboku in Kupe/ Muanenguba Division, South-West Region of Cameroon. He studied at the Universities of Yaounde and Leeds and teaches Creative Writing, Sociolinguistics etc. at the University of Yaounde.
