With settings ranging from the poet s native Barbados across the southern United States to Brazil, this compilation is a reflection of 21st-century existence and an unlabored metaphor for individual life stages. Included herein are lovely accounts of both the tenacity of the very old and the curiosity of the very young. Exploring themes such as grandiosity, pretension, inequality, and regret, these poems also demonstrate a real human connection with the natural world."
