About This Item
Mundelstrup, Denmark: Dangaroo Press, 1984. Trade Paperback. Second Edition. As New. Pristine inside and out. Not from a library. 72 pages. Winner of the 1984 Commonwealth Poetry Prize. Songs of frustration and defiance from African slaves and indentured Indian laborers are expressed in a lyrical Guyanese Creole in these provocative poems. An insightful critical apparatus of English translations surrounds these lyrics, shedding light on their meaning, while at the same time cleverly commenting on the impossibility of translating Creole and parodying critical attempts to explain and contextualize Caribbean poetry.
