Description
The personal and political experiences and passions of a third-world immigrant are powerfully expressed in this collection of poems. Negotiating the path between belonging and freedom, many poems convey a deep need to wander, reject the tribalism of nostalgia for one ethnic group or another, and express a keen ear for the demotic rhythms of Caribbean speech.
