Description
Coco Island by Christine Roseeta Walker presents a compelling cycle of poems that attentively explore the undertow and hidden forces shaping a place and its people. Through narrative poems, songs, fables, comic scenes, ghost stories, and vivid character sketches, Walker lays bare how economic necessity, religious belief, illness, and addiction influence family life and community structures. The book charts the devastation of a world as it modernises, piecing together the isolated lives of those left behind. With fearless and memorable poems, Walker sheds light on the devastating consequences of change. Walker's first collection is set entirely in Negril, Jamaica, offering a unique perspective on the island's complexities.
