Heart / Land

What makes Heart / Land both rewarding and challenging are the contrasting landscapes (ranging from the Guyana rainforest through Caribbean islands to the islets of the Bermuda atoll ) and the poems frank celebration of the diversity of language and life of the Caribbean / South American world.

The poems move, in a variety of poetic styles, between the threat of global disaster (Leaf, Summit) and the healing nature of landscape and love (Fall, Saint Lucy, Mother/Nature). The complex scenarios of life from childhood to adulthood and old age are all sketched within the challenging embrace of their landscapes.
