This collection brings together a selection of poetry from Faustin
Charles's previous works as well as many new poems from this
important voice in Caribbean poetry. As a Trinidadian whose writing
career has been spent in the United Kingdom, Charles is a pioneer
of the diasporic consciousness whose work has sought to uncover
what is essential in the Caribbean cultural heritage and explore
the experience of separation and the establishment of new
connections. The new poems from this volume focus on the lives of
the young with a Blakean concern for the quality and integrity of
childhood experience. These are both songs of innocence and
experience, of what ought to be, and, as in "Stephen's Song," of a
young life snuffed out by racism.
