Bubi is the language of the indigenous population of the island of Bioko, Equatorial Guinea. The Ëvóvë/Ëbóbë Association organizes activities to strengthen this endangered language, but in 2025 they were banned.

Listen to this poetry reading in Bubi from @pen-tlrc.bsky.social poetry marathon:

This is such a wonderful, beautiful poem.

Hearing the students who went into the mountains to join the resistance in Myanmar is fascinating.

When the resistance capture soldiers, their strategy is to remove all their weapons and drive them safely back to their barracks.

Even if the Marathon is over, why not start the weekend with this long poem submitted from Greenland by Juaaka Lyberth in Kalaallisut (Greenlandic)?
