Book Synopsis

A collection of Haitian trilingual poetry (English, French, and Haitian), representing a great diversity of sensibilities and poetic styles. The reader will find in this collection poems which lament the social relations of power and the problematic of imperialist and neocolonial domination in the world. Other poems emphasize the authors' unique aspects of lived experience, their personal intuition, appreciation, or emotion; in short, readers will find in this collection many constituent jewels which, through a complementary effect, increase the vitality of the whole.
