A collection of essays and poems. The title "Memwa, Konik, Powetik" is translated as "Memoir, Chronicle, Poetics". It chronicles current issues seen from the standpoint of what the author calls a "reverse anthropological" inquiry, returning the dominator's gaze, redirecting it from the South to the North. The book is also a collections of poems and memoirs. It's written in Haitian with a French annex.« Kouwè tyaka - yon manje ayisyen ki fèt de melanj mayi, pwa, krèm joumou, lèt kokoye, vyann, epis, elatriye, pou konpoze yon repa koupe-dwèt -, mwen vle melanje engredyan diferan e ki aparamman pa ale ansanm pou kwit yon pwodui final ki gen yon estetik ak yon flavè varye ki mete an valè chak grenn engredyan yo pandan y ap pwojte konpleksite kalite ansanm lan. (...) Kosmos la genyen yon sipèestrikti ki endepandan de espès imen an e ki relye tout bagay ansanm, e li fèt plis avèk kawos, enprediktiblite, kontenjans, ke ak sètitid inebranlab. Tyaka a, si yo prepare l selon règleman ekilib engredyan ki konpoze l yo, se yon repa fòtifyan, kouwè tou kapab ye yon liv ki reyini diferan aspè ak ang eskperyans lavi. »-Tontongi, nan Entwodiksyon an (From the Introduction)
