Books by Lorna Goodison

A passionate, political new collection from Jamaica's poet laureate.

New poems are added to the eleven previous books of this most popular of Caribbean poets.

Renowned poet Lorna Goodison has written a new collection of elegies and praise songs which explore the close link between history and genealogy in the Caribbean experience. Her subjects range from the economic genius of market women to the complex beauty of the natural world.

A collection of poems that turns to acknowledge the poets own ancestors and those of her craft: mother and father, aunts and uncles, Africa, William Wordsworth, Vincent Van Gogh, and the Wild Woman. This is the seventh collection of the poet.
