Synopsis
This vivid sequence of poems is inspired by the mountains and green forests through which flows the great Essequibo River in Guyana, and by the local people and their stories and myths. Antiguan and St Kittian by ancestry, Trindidadian by birth, Guyanese by adoption, McDonald describes himself as West Indian by conviction. His previous collection of poems from Peterloo was "Mercy Ward" (1988) and he has also written "The Hummingbird Tree" (1969), a novel of West Indian childhood, which was awarded the Royal Society of Literature Prize for best regional novel.
