Stretching his artistic craftsmanship Bewketu Seyoum is going to come up with a new poetry anthology “Yesat Dar Hasaboch” (Fire side Ideas) on September. It is to be remembered that he has released a new novel “Enkilfina Edime “(Sleep and Age) recently.
The anthology contains about fifty poems. Bewketu said that the title “Yesat Dar Hasaboch” fountained from the fact that out of the four characters of the flesh ; fire, water, wind, and soil, “fire is the only one of them found in all,” as defined in Aleqa kidanewold Kifle’s dictionary. Bewketu has achieved a wide acclaim acceptance in his debut anthology “nuari Alba Gojowoch” (Huts without Dwellers

Good … keep it up! and be up to date!
Bewketu is an avant-gart poet. I have read most of his poems. His Haiku-like Amharic poems have the ability and courage to cast spells on his readers. I think he is taking Amharic poetry to the highest level.

What I like most is his way of narration.He leaves me with no breath while he narrates.Offcourse his poets are not to be foregotten.

The following poem is of an amateric and dedicated for my Debremarkose fellows who are engaged in Honey vendoring:
Yegojam sew zare ke Amilaku gar tarkual
