Description
India infuses the poems in this collection--as it does the entire body of this poet's work, inspired by the inimitable musical rhythms and ragas of the subcontinent; the scents of its spices; the riotous colours; the exquisite temple sculptures and ancient dances; the mathematics, philosophies, and multitudinous languages and cultures. These influences subtly and not-so-subtly inform his community's 184-year history in the Americas--starting in South America (Guyana) and the Caribbean (Trinidad) and later including Canada and the United States. These poems are also enriched by the evolving cultures, politics and languages of the Americas, and Persaud does not exclude exploring perspectives on the craft of writing.
