Marche is French for market. In this case, the sprawling, color-rife, and often bewildering market of Bobo-Dioulasso in today's Burkina Faso stands as a metaphor for the selections in this book. Only the first eponymous poem takes place in the market itself. The others are scattered from a landscape blistered by a classic, and thus tragic, drought, to the deep forest of the Equator. Here is set the final story, "The Parrots of the Rainbow", capturing the myth tales of an African storyteller.
