A Caribbean woman, Eugenia takes the reader directly to her roots as in "Ma, I Remember," and "Memoryland." In "St. Michael Road," the village road in Tacarigua, on which she grew up, the author recalls growing up in her neighborhood, among her neighbors in those ole time days with ole village time ways, and ole time village architecture. Passionate about life, Eugenia delves into the ups and downs of love, pursuit of dreams, and self-esteem issues, but pauses to spend some serious play time with the children, in the section for the children. Finally, she bids her readers, Adieu, as she takes her leave.and to finally bid her readers in the final section, Adieu. Quietly powerful, each poem in this selection, though light, compels the reader to pause and reflect.

Through this nostalgic reminder of how villagers in the island of Trinidad (Trinidad and Tobago) cared for their sick and dying, the author honors her memory of her St. Michael Road neighborhood community. Observe how families cared for their sick, and the customs the people followed as they took care of their dead. Eugenia Springer also takes the reader beyond the burial to the people's beliefs about the spirit of the dead, and their stories about spirit visitations.
