Days and Nights of the Blue Iguana

Jamaica is the thematic epicenter of this compassionate, painterly collection of poems about the islands of the Caribbean and beyond. The story of the Ancestors--a nomadic family that wanders up and down Jamaica--is related with a breathtaking descriptiveness that uncovers both love and exasperation for the tropical island. This collection also contains a selection of the most popular poems from the author's first book of poetry, "The Caribbean Raj".
