![Jese Leos](https://diy.nicksucre.com/author/jamie-bell.jpg)
Cheben Michael Labossiere, born on March 8, 1935, was a Haitian writer, poet, journalist, and political activist who left an indelible mark on Haitian literature and politics. Labossiere was a prolific writer whose works spanned multiple genres, including poetry, novels, short stories, essays, and political commentary. He was also a renowned journalist and political commentator whose writings challenged the political and social injustices of his time.
Labossiere's literary career began in the early 1960s when he published his first collection of poems, "Chants pour Haïti". This collection was followed by several other works, including "Poèmes pour une Afrique nouvelle" (1965) and "Les Affres d'un peuple" (1970). Labossiere's poetry often explored themes of social justice, political oppression, and the struggle for Haitian liberation. He was known for his use of vivid imagery and powerful language to convey the experiences and emotions of the Haitian people.

In addition to his poetry, Labossiere also wrote several novels and short stories. His most famous novel, "Lamour et révolution" (1973),tells the story of a young Haitian couple who are caught up in the political turmoil of the 1960s. The novel was a critical and commercial success and has been translated into several languages.
Labossiere's political activism was closely intertwined with his literary career. He was a fervent critic of the Duvalier dictatorship and was often imprisoned and tortured for his political beliefs. After the fall of the Duvalier regime in 1986, Labossiere became a leading figure in the Haitian opposition. He was elected to the Haitian parliament in 1990 and served as a member of the Constituent Assembly that drafted the new Haitian constitution.
Labossiere's legacy as a writer and political activist continues to inspire Haitians and people around the world. His works have been praised for their literary merit and their unwavering commitment to social justice. Labossiere was a true Haitian intellectual who used his pen and his voice to fight for a better Haiti.
Here are some of Labossiere's most famous quotes:
- "The Haitian people have a long and proud history of resistance to oppression."
- "The pen is mightier than the sword."
- "We must never give up hope for a better Haiti."
Cheben Michael Labossiere died on January 24, 2017, at the age of 81. He is survived by his wife, Marie-Andrée, and his three children. His legacy will continue to inspire generations of Haitians and people around the world.
