Pitch Lake

Meer over het boek

In Pitch Lake, Andre Bagoo, author of the Bocas prize shortlisted poetry collection, Burn, displays a continuing commitment to exploration and experiment. Andre Bagoo's poems explore the multiple resonances of the title, where pitch signifies both the stickiness of memory - the way the La Brea Pitch Lake is a place where "buried trees [are] born again" - and the idea of scattering: of places and impressions and the effort to hold them in one vision.
