Delile I. Ndumo
Delile comes from a small town in Bophelong, Vanderbijlpark, Gauteng, South Africa. He grew up playing marbles and soccer with his friends and enjoyed the company of his 3 brothers. As he grew older he discovered that he has a talent in writing. He began writing poetry in 2008, but not as intensely as from 2014. 2 years after his diagnosis of Bipolar Affective Disorder, he began to shift his focus more on making others know about the condition and to advocate for how Mental-Health patients should be treated and viewed by the society. His efforts were not readily seen until he had an idea of compiling his poetry collections into a book. The type of poetry is not typical and it is more of a flow of thoughts thus he calls his book "floetry", They style of writing is also different at it does not conform to what poetry is known for. He writes about abstract, logical and existential matters but also puts some heavy emotions into the writings. Delile feels that men in society shy away from talking about mental health and "die" quietly inside because they do not take the necessary steps to express how they feel. Raw Feels - reveals much of his personality through poetry and allows readers to interpret what they readily feel while they read. It's not just about the success stories that people look out for from men suffering from mental health conditions but Delile tackles the day-to-day interactions. When you read Raw Feelings, try to imagine someone in the family, a relative or a friend who lives with a mental health illness. See life through their eyes and try to be more understanding. Do not just focus on Delile's life experiences. Think more about how this may affect you personally. Above all else, inspire others to do the same!
