Description

Diverse in theme as well as form, this new collection explodes onto the page with a maturity and dynamism rarely seen in such a young poet. Using language full of unique beauty and charisma, Miller writes everything from love poems to biblical chronicles, exploring themes such as conflicting identity, home and family, and the spirit of his Jamaican ancestors.

Kei Miller's poetry touches me with his personal portrayal of alienation and faith.

Personal favorites in this collection:

How we became the pirates
The only thing far away
The Broken (I)
In praise of the revolutionary properties of ice cream, but in particular, the flavour Chunky Monkey
