Description

John Agard (ed); Grace Nichols (ed). Sparkling waters & coral beaches, velvet-smooth dolphins & flying fish; the call of the 6 o’clock bee & the pung-la-la chorus of frogs; the flavor of coconut water, pawpaw, & Johnnie Bake; whispered ghost stories about Duppy Dan & the Jumbie Man. Divided into 5 sections, each illustrated by a major contemporary artist, this glorious collection of poetry conjures the sights & sounds, tastes & tales of the Caribbean: the experience of living there -- & of leaving for other lands. Contains more than 50 poems, many of them previously unpub., by more than 30 poets, incl. John Agard, Grace Nichols, James Berry, Valerie Bloom, & Benjamin Zephaniah. Artists include Christopher Corr, Sara Fanelli, Cathie Felstead, Satoshi Kitamura, & Jane Ray.
