When the Sun turns Red

Women’s Tears from a Land in Despair

edited by Lilian Lem Atanga, Sally Mboumien

When the Sun Turns Red is a cry from the heart of women residing in the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon who have borne the physical and psychological pains of war. The poems in this volume express the women’s pain, their fortitude, hope, and call to an end of the armed conflict. The collection not only expresses women’s positionality as victims, but also as advocates of peace. In the once beloved land of perpetual sunlight, women cry out as the sun turns red. With over 50 poems authored by more than 30 poets, seasoned and emerging, young and old, the volume is a testimony of collective pain that captures the violence of this moment in their history.
