Paperback. Condición: New. 2nd. Crown Point is the first collection of poems by one of the Caribbean's foremost woman poets. Velma Pollard's poems range from affectionate and observant family portraits to the righteous anger of an Afro-Caribbean woman's truth telling. Crown Point closes with a moving series of poems that meditat…e on death, mourning and their meaning for the living. They speak both of the deaths of parents and grandparents and of 'deaths falling early' and hear always Anancy's susu susu whispering words, 'tiday fi mi / tumaro fi yu'. These are poems which have a quiet, consoling truthfulness, no answers, just the unvarnished reminder that this is the way of life and that the dead remain with us: 'No one philosophy can answer all / each man is an island / each mind is a muffin tin / and so we sit with our invisible pencils / working out strategies to cope with brevity / to cope with our adieux / to love - too sweet to forget / to life - too intense to leave.' These tender elegiac poems of loss and remembrance have an eloquent stillness at their heart. All share a common depth of reflection and concern with poetic craft."Reading. Velma Pollard is to encounter an acutely sensitive consciousness grappling, even in apparently lighter moments, with the complexity of experience." Evelyn O'Callaghan, Jamaica JournalVelma Pollard writes poetry, fiction and studies of language. She was born in Jamaica and works at the University of the West Indies where she is Dean of the Faculty of Education.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A shame tree is a Jamaican symbol for the development of moral consciousness, and the poems in this collection explore the points at which moral values emerge - and the consequences of their absence. The poems suggest toughly that such consciousness does not grow without unremitting effort a…nd scrupulous sensitivity to feeling, but there is nothing didactic or moralistic about them. They are imaginative recreations of the dramas of coming to consciousness and the inevitable ambiguities of truth. As in all Velma Pollard's work, there is a deeply imbued sense of Caribbean history."Tone and emotion range wider in Velma Pollard's Shame Trees Don't Grow Here. but poincianas bloom - from disgust, anger, and outrage to celebration, awe, and praise; from questioning and condemnation to understanding and reconciliation. The major thrust of the poet's fire comes in the first part of the book where those who lacked or are lacking conscience and moral boundaries are drawn into Pollard's unflinching scrutiny. Wildfire becomes hearth in part two where the beauty and life-enhancing qualities of land, sea, and people are celebrated. Throughout, the poet's skillful use of language remains evident in, for example, her subtle, unobtrusive rhymes that lend musicality to her verse; her puns; double entendres; and other word play."Marvin Williams, The Caribbean WriterVelma Pollard writes poetry, fiction and studies of language. She was born in Jamaica and works at the University of the West Indies where she is Dean of the Faculty of Education.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In his own wry, pungent and sometimes bitter words, Karl tells how in winning the world, he loses his soul. The child of an unmarried higgler mother who invests all her love in him, Karls intelligence wins him a scholarship, a university education and a prestigious job high up in a bank, but… the further he ascends the ladder of success the more he remembers the warning of Ras I: You gwine to Babylon school man.In writing a tragicomedy of the two Jamaicas, Velma Pollard uses the folk-wisdom of the one to critique the other. The comedy is in the merciless satire of the acquisitive middle-class world of cocktail parties and shopping. The tragedy is in Karls separation from his home community, and from himself.With an incisive introduction by Velma Pollards long-term friend Daryl Cumber Dance, and seven further stories of womens lives in Jamaica, the wit and righteous anger of this classic reissue remains wholly pertinent thirty years later, and reminds us what a sterling contribution Velma Pollard made to Caribbean literature.Velma Pollard (19372025) was a distinguished Jamaican poet, fiction writer, and scholar of language. She dedicated her career to literature and education, retiring as Dean of the Faculty of Education at the University of the West Indies. "Karl" is the story of a young man's encounter with middle-class Jamaica. His story is contrasted with Kenneth's, who rejects all that the middle class has to offer. Other stories reflect the lives of women from different social backgrounds. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: New. There have been many great and enduring works of literature by Caribbean authors over the last century. The Caribbean Contemporary Classics collection celebrates these deep and vibrant stories, overflowing with life and acute observations about society.Over our way lies a world of flame trees and hot b…eaches rimmed with hills, of raucous laughter in the market and shouts in the street, of bare feet running down dusty lanes and across burnt savannahs, splashing beside the boats of fishermen or inching up the ringed bark of coconut trees. A long way, full of laughing, weeping, blessing, cursing, explaining, quarrelling, accusing and lamenting.We cannot see the beginnings or ends of our way, but we can tell some of the stories of what happens over our way: stories which we alone can tell, stories about our friendships, our lonelinesses, our games, our crimes, our sorrows and joys, our triumphs and dreams.Suitable for readers aged 11 and above.
