Running the Dusk

Overview

Dynamic and witty, this compilation of Caribbean poetry draws on popular culture and classical literature and unabashedly comments upon politics and sensuality. Written with the Bahamas in mind, these noteworthy poems offer a fresh perspective of humanity and a new, exciting approach to language as they celebrate earlier poets such as Aimé Cesaire and Shabba Ranks. Intelligent and honest, this collection argues for the celebrating of worlds that have been previously ignored.
