Showcasing one of the Caribbean’s most original and innovative poets, this anthology exemplifies sharp observation, disarming honesty about the human heart’s complexities, and a most sophisticated sense of landscape and space. These are poems about Jamaica, venturing far beyond references that create local color to express an often troubled and uncertain love for the island and how its creative power spreads to those beyond its shores. Offering a compelling immersion into what can best be described as Caribbean metaphysical poetics, this collection contains an indigenous secular spirituality that obscures the divide between the spiritual and the sensual.
