Editorial Reviews

An extremely important book. Before its appearance, no literary historian or critic, let alone lover of poetry, will have been able to measure the full richness of West Indian poetic creation.”  —Ian McDonald, novelist, The Dervish House

"[Roach was] the most splendid voice of the Caribbean Renaissance (1948–1972)."  —Kamau Brathwaite, poet, Born to Slow Horses
