The Watertank Revisited

by Delores Gauntlett

Overview

A brother held at gunpoint, a mother paralyzed at her son's encounter with authority, and citizens in battle with the police and military are among the deeply disturbing and moving images rendered in this unflinching collection of poetry about contemporary Jamaica. Journalistic detail and poetic reflection explore what enables Jamaicans to seek out the ties of love, friendship, and family in the face of personal and national hardship. The beautiful landscape and endurance of the Jamaican people are vividly described in this engaging collection from a rising Caribbean poet.
