Description

Limestone: An Epic Poem of Barbados by Anthony Kellman is a sweeping narrative that brings to life the island nation's rich history and culture. Through innovative verse forms and rhythmic patterns, Kellman tells the story of Barbados from its earliest inhabitants to the present day. The poem explores themes of identity, community, and resilience, drawing on the lives of both legendary figures and invented characters. By weaving together historical insight, traditional folk sounds, and poetic expression, Kellman creates a unique and immersive portrait of an island nation. With its distinctive Tuk verse forms and snare drum rhythms, Limestone is a poem that comes alive with sound and spirit. This epic work offers a powerful exploration of the complexities and beauty of Barbadian culture.
