The Journey to Le Repentir

Meer over het boek

This collection of poems intricately weaves autobiography with historical narrative and postcolonial perspectives, exploring the four phases of life: childhood, adolescence, maturity, and old age. Each section features a narrative that complements and contrasts the main voice, creating a rich tapestry of interconnected themes. The poems journey from the quest for El Dorado to the celebration of Guyana's rivers, delving into complex issues of guilt, sexuality, identity, and the struggle for independence in both personal and political realms.
