Ambition, rebellion, loss of innocence, memory, love, death and spiritual yearning are just some of the themes these poems explore. With an underlying seriousness leavened by wit and a self-deprecating humor, this collection engages in a dialogue that is both intensely Jamaican and universal. Featuring free verse, rhymed quatrains, haikus, and villanelles--in patois and standard English--this book also explores the dynamics, personal and social, of being a white poet in a black country.
