pickI don‘t read a lot of poetry, but I found this one pretty enjoyable. Some travel involved (Walcott was from Saint Lucia, and these poems feature the Caribbean, Italy, Spain, and the U.S, among others), nothing wild or crazy. They‘re deceptively short and simple, but it was nice to linger on some of them. #52Books23 #byaCaribbeanauthor
pickI‘m not a huge fan of poetry but enjoyed this book, I think because they weren‘t too ‘odd‘.
The author is from #saintlucia #readingtheamericas2023.
Many of the poems are set in the Caribbean, but we also visit France, Amsterdam, the US and Italy, as in the poem above that compares summer on Saint Lucia and in Italy.
I‘ve managed to do another #quadrupledip with this one ⬇️ although I‘m sure I won‘t be that lucky going forward!😁
pickIf you pick this up expecting the usual Pulitzer Prize winner, you‘re going to be very surprised. It‘s a lovely story, the writing is amazing, and I actually learned from it. #prizewinner #pulitzer

This book is breaking my heart. Deming, the main character, trying to adjust/not adjust to his new life. #family #cultureclash #mixed #mixedremixed #diversebooks #diverselit #theleavers #penbellwether #prizewinner
