Description
The Butterfly Hotel by Roger Robinson Poems from Trinidad and Brixton, two worlds that converge in this powerful collection. These poems capture the experience of growing up black British, navigating between cultures and identities. They are a testament to the human capacity for regeneration and the power of memory to shape our understanding of home. Through stories that are both humorous and elegantly rendered, Robinson explores the fragility of memories and the drive to re-create the world we know. These poems are not bleak or alienated, but rather a celebration of the richness and sensuality of life. With its faith in human resilience and creativity, this book offers a new concept of home, one that is shaped by the act of remembering and storytelling.
