This enlightening, entertaining, profoundly political & poetic gathering of essays by the Poet Laureate of Jamaica covers a wealth of subjects, from the odd dissociation of a colonial education to the reality of life in the wider world, the singing of hymns in school & the way their words stay with us, to the many influences--music, art, storytelling, theatre, cinema, travel, religion, family life & politics--that nurture our imaginations & her own writing voice.
