Beschreibung

Persaud's new collection celebrates the music in the seemingly mundane. The poems delve into ancestries and the movement and intertwining of peoples, cultures, plants, animals, cuisines, languages, loves and the passing of eras. Love and the exuberance in the world around--centered in the Florida land-(and sea-) scape--permeates this work.
