{"product_id":"cant-sleep-daniel-kumbon-9781979718141","title":"Can't Sleep: Poems, Impressions \u0026 Essays From Enga Province Papua New Guinea","description":"The people of Papua New Guinea have a long traditional history of oral literature. Like many societies that have always lived close to the earth there are many natural story tellers and poets among them. This is especially so in Enga Province in the Central Highlands where the largest cultural group in Papua New Guinea lives. It is therefore unfortunate that these natural talents have not been afforded any real chance to flourish in the modern nation state of Papua New Guinea where publishing and other opportunities are severely limited. This has not stopped the writers and poets from practising their craft but at best they can only hope for publication in small and often obscure journals and newspapers. Until recently very few books have been published in the nation. Daniel Kumbon, himself a published author and journalist, has compiled this current collection from a variety of those sources, past and present, to highlight the sort of material that has come out of his home province. The collection is mainly aimed at Enga readers and occurs in parallel with the recent revival of the Enga Writer's Association. However, the collection should also be of interest to the general reader who wants to learn about Enga and its people and their aspirations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Kumbon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1979718148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781979718141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.30d","brand":"Daniel Kumbon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46545753309439,"sku":"9781979718141","price":6.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_00e10c18-392c-445b-95ed-fcc2b3f00faa.jpg?v=1738183238","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cant-sleep-daniel-kumbon-9781979718141","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
