I have no idea what logic you're using there but I'll humour you. Are you implying that all the greatest somali poets are only those mentioned in kacaan "history books" or are you saying that this idaaja person only talks about certain poets because of his own academic bias?Aristocat wrote:It's like asking an English speaking literary historian why he keeps quoting only english poets like WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, ROBERT BROWNING, THOMAS HARDY or THOMAS WYATT, instead of other poets from the English speakng world. These people have the same logic as someone who just descended from a tree.
