A reflective book of poetry written by a Jamaican man who’s adventures and travels are highlighted throughout this work. His experiences as a black man (now blind) with love, loss, death, sex, family, and emotional pain follow a resolute human spirit. The range of subjects sometimes autobiographical and sometimes fantastical is an intriguing look into his life, imagination, and talent.
