Description
A resonant collection of poems rooted in the landscapes, histories, and cultural tensions of the Caribbean, this work examines the distance between homeland and elsewhere, tradition and modernity, and personal identity and colonial inheritance. Through vivid imagery and richly musical language, the poems transform sea, island, and memory into settings for meditations on exile, belonging, history, and artistic responsibility. Both intimate and expansive, the collection reflects a poet deeply engaged with the contradictions of Caribbean life and the enduring power of place.
