Critique:
Genre: This book of poems uses several different styles of poetry. Many use rhyme and rhythm to help make the poems flow easily from the reader's tongue. They all relate to the culture of the Caribbean, but have different meanings and themes, just like any other culture. The book allows a wide variety of authors and poems to be shared.
Theme: All of the poems had different themes relating to each poem. This allows the author to get his/her point across without saying directly why he/she wrote it. For example, in "Steel Band Jump Up" it uses language to get the sound across of the band. It helps explain the importance of the music and how it is such an integral part of this life.
