This little book is so big on truth it stands as fine testimony to the Jamaican phenomenon of 'likl but talawa' - it may be small but it's packed with power. The strength and power of Juleus' truth is rooted in his upbringing in rural Jamaica. Whether it's the harsh reality of his early years: ("He would throw her / across the room / Some men make sport of such things"); the understanding he has of those whose love strengthened him ("we till the soil my son / so you may see your reflection"); or commentary on the contradictions of Jamaican society (..".it bedevilled me how Sista Alkin could cuss / so much rass on her way to the Church of God") - Juleus' well-crafted poetry speaks with insight, compassion and wry humour, deftly transcending his background of dire poverty and abuse. The Way I learned To Ignore is an accomplished first collection with powerful lessons for us all. -------------- A-dZiko Simba Gegele, Author of 'All Over Again' No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
