Book Description
Occasionally, one gets the opportunity to witness mastery at work, as well as the work of mastery. Such was presented to me by Izzaak in his Poetic Duty I- Coming from Carriacou. The poems and the writings represent his views and reflections particular of life on the island of Carriacou, rich in tradition and culture. Each item shows an unparalleled deep insight on matters that others may take lightly. The reader should therefore expect that thought is essential if full and proper absorption of the written word is to be interpreted. It is not surprising, to me, that the term Kayak is used with pride, even though it was originally meant as in a derogatory sense equivalent to country-bookie for rural Grenadians to express what the city folks thought of Carraicouans. Indeed, when one first entered the city we did not know how to eat with knife and fork and we spoke funny. But not only did one overcome this, but presented to the world some most notable individuals. Read slowly of life in general, of persons who influenced Izzaak, and some of his own experiences. I thoroughly enjoyed the readings of the anthology and recommend it highly, not only to fellow Carriacouans, but to Grenadians, West Indians and the wider world. Dr. Alfred Braithwaite, Freeport, Bahamas.

Book Description
Assorted Definitions: "An astute observer; a writer whose mind is not limited by location; but wherever he travels - physically, mentally or emotionally - his pictorial vision of life is documented, as in this second book in two years." "Jeffrey has done it again! Putting life into the lifeless, giving vision to the blind; aspects of life and living vividly portrayed that will make this book, one that is difficult to put down, once started. The writer continues to bring Carriacou, its people, its culture and traditions at home and abroad, alive to its readers." "Interesting." "Prolific writing!" "Very good poetry." "Serious and funny." "Izzaak is coming from a different place, but still rooted in Carriacou."

Book Description
A debut collection that welcomes a new modernist aesthetic for the twenty-first century. Aswirl with waking dreams and phantom memories, The Late Parade is a triumph of poetic imagination. To write about one thing, you must first write about another. In Adam Fitzgerald's debut collection, readers discover forty-eight poems that yoke together tones playful and elegiac, nostalgic and absurd. Fitzgerald's shape-shifting inspirations "beckon us to join an urban promenade" (McLane) with a multiplicity of chimerical stops: from the unreal cities of Dubai to the former Soviet Union, from Nigerian spammers and the Virgin Mary to Dr. Johnson and Cat Power. "The glory of this volume is the long title poem, which carries the primal vision of Hart Crane into a future that does not surrender the young poet’s love of the real," writes Harold Bloom. Mash-ups of litanies, monologues and odes, these poems spring from a modernist landscape filled with madcap slips of tongue, innuendo, archaisms and everyday slang. Though Fitzgerald's lines often hallucinate meanings that feel open-ended, they never ignore the traditional pleasures of poetic craft and memory, their music an ambient drone—part Technicolor, part nitrous oxide. Even so, what glues these fantasies together is more than the charm of the maddeningly chameleon rhetoric. Fitzgerald's sonorous voice is unabashedly that of a love poet's: melancholic, baroque and visionary. The Late Parade is a testament to the powers of confusion, which may disguise our sense of loss but offer in return that eloquent tonic known as poetry. As Richard Howard writes, "When the new poet turns up the heat, he gives us just the necessary outrages which make us understand what we never knew we could say."

Book Description
The horrors of the First World War released a great outburst of emotional poetry from the soldiers who fought in it as well as many other giants of world literature. Wilfred Owen, Rupert Brooke and W B Yeats are just some of the poets whose work is featured in this anthology. The raw emotion unleashed in these poems still has the power to move readers today. As well as poems detailing the miseries of war there are poems on themes of bravery, friendship and loyalty, and this collection shows how even in the depths of despair the human spirit can still triumph.

Book Description
There can be no area of human experience that has generated a wider range of powerful feelings than war. The 250 poems included in this acclaimed anthology span centuries of human conflict from David's lament for Saul and Jonathan, and Homer's Iliad, to the finest poems of the First and Second World Wars, and beyond. Reflecting the feelings of poets as diverse as Byron, Hardy, Owen, Sassoon, and Heaney, they reveal a great shift in social awareness fromman's early celebratory `war-songs' to the more recent `anti-war' attitudes of poets responding to `man's inhumanity to man' - and to women and children.
