Looking for Cazabon

For his first poetry collection, the award-winning Trinidadian novelist Lawrence Scott is inspired in contemporary reflection by the watercolours of the 19th-century Trinidadian artist Michel Jean Cazabon, the subject of his novel, Light Falling on Bamboo, for his first poetry collection. Beautifully crafted, these highly regarded poems, most in sonnet form, celebrate the landscape of Trinidad and remembrance of loves and old friendships while evoking both the historical and contemporary violence of its society.
