愛墾APP:Poetic Contour（2014,Poetry）by Lebusa Monyooe～～It is a literary work that encapsulates not only postulations about the socio-economic and political challenges that modern democracies grapple with during their governance tenures.

It serves as a metaphorical platform that expresses contours of thoughts on a range of social themes embedded in the title – Poetic Contours.

A contour generically refers to an outline, layer and or representation of form and essence. Contours could be manifested in physical, philosophical and intellectual forms. The diverse themes (love, governance etc.) embedded in this collection demonstrate a crafty integration of words into ideas and vistas that illuminate contours of reflection and engagement on matters of national and global significance. For instance, ‘the Turkish tragedy’ is a sombre celebration about loss of human lives within the mining sector. It is a subtle global appeal to prioritize safety and wellness within the industry.

Story telling is a hallmark of humanity that has evolved over decades with intense social impact. Poetic Contours deploys expressive story like narratives (ballads) to amplify diverse social ills that officialdom (government) often abrogates public accountability. Poetic Contours encourages robust amplification, reflection and engagement with national and global polemics. It does so through seamless fusion of all manners of thematic contours – physical, philosophical and intellectual engagement with socio-economic issues of our time.

《詩性的輪廓》（Poetic Contour），作者：Lebusa Monyooe

這是一部文學作品，不僅涵蓋了現代民主國家在治理過程中所面臨的社會、經濟與政治挑戰的假設與思辨，也透過隱喻性的方式，展現對各類社會主題的思索輪廓，正如書名所述——《詩性的輪廓》。

“輪廓”一詞通常指的是某種形式與本質的外框、層次或表現。輪廓可以體現在物理、哲學與知識等不同層面。本詩集中所涵蓋的多樣主題（如愛情、治理等），巧妙地將語言轉化為思想與視角，啟發人們對國家與全球重要議題的深度反思與參與。例如詩作〈土耳其的悲劇〉，是一首對礦業中人命損失的沉痛讚歌，也是在全球範圍內，呼籲優先重視該產業中的安全與健康問題。

說故事是人類文化的重要標誌，經歷數十年的演變，對社會產生深遠的影響。《詩性的輪廓》透過抒情敘述式的詩歌（如敘事詩或歌謠），放大了多樣的社會弊病，這些往往是官方（政府）所忽視、逃避問責的問題。

《詩性的輪廓》鼓勵強而有力的表達、深刻反思，以及對國家與全球爭議的積極參與。它透過對所有主題輪廓的無縫融合——包括物理層面、哲學探討與知識參與——來探討當代的社會與經濟議題。
