The Verandah Poems was both a departure and a return for Jean
'Binta' Breeze, who left her village in Jamaica to become an
internationally renowned Dub poet and storyteller. This is a book of
coming home and coming to terms, of contemplation rather than
contention
- of mellow, musing, edgy poems drawn from the life and lives around
her. It was Breeze's first new collection after Third World Girl:
Selected Poems (2011), and was published on her 60th birthday. Foreword
by Kei Miller. With photographs by Tehron Royes.
