Think of Lampedusa is a collection of serial poems by Josué Guébo, published in French in 2014, translated in English in 2017 by Todd Fredson with an introduction by John Keene.

The poet, using both mythological and historical elements, questions in this work complex realities about the nature of man and his identity.

Think of Lampedusa is the story of hundreds of young people, of various religions, who leave from Libya, Somalia, Eritrea or Mali towards Europe and most of whom perish during the crossing.

Those who escape the depths of the ocean and reach the island of Lampedusa, will face the electric fence of hate.

The author presents memories but also expectations through a hike that leads him through sea, dream, raft, anxiety and sinking.
