Looking for Cazabon

Description

"A joy to read," says TS Eliot prize winner Roger Robinson. This first poetry collection by the award-winning Trinidadian novelist Lawrence Scott reflects on the paintings and places of of the 19th-century Trinidadian artist Michel Jean Cazabon, the subject of Scott's novel, Light Falling on Bamboo. Beautifully crafted, these highly regarded poems, most in sonnet form, celebrate the landscape of Trinidad and remembrance of loves and old friendships while evoking both the historical and contemporary violence of its society.
