Description

Ecrivain’s Poetic Expression is a lovely collection of poems from Trinidad and Tobago. It is narrative/reflective and makes good reading for everyone. It gives a taste of Trinidad’s culture in some instances and is a pleasure to read. The poetic expressions are about four main themes: Love, Life, Epic and Gender expressions. This book has something everyone would love regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or geography. The Trinidadian and Tobagonian diaspora as well as those outside of Trinidad and Tobago will enjoy this wonderfully reminiscent view of the culture and history.
