Product Information
The poems of The Arrival of Brighteye are Caribbean songs of innocence and experience. Striking evocations of childhood in the hills of Jamaica give way to explorations of the perils and delights of growth and change - through sex, emigration, motherhood and age. Moving from intense lyricism to witty commentary to the dramatic monologues for which she is internationally renowned, Jean 'Binta' Breeze's fourth collection shows a Caribbean writer at the height of her powers. Whether it be the Wife of Bath speaking Jamaican wit and wisdom about men and sex in Brixton market, an old warrior of carnival facing up to the loss of his powers, or quieter evocations of love and memory, these are poems that delight in the richness of a difficult world.Product Identifiers
