Looking for Cazabon is the first poetry collection by the Trinidadian novelist Lawrence Scott and was inspired by the paintings of Michel Jean Cazabon, Trinidad's most famous 19th-century painter, and the subject of Scott's novel, Light Falling on Bamboo. The poems - written while Scott was working on the novel - celebrate love, friendships and the island's natural beauty but it is a wonderment undercut by violence, both historical and contemporary.
Barrow lost his footing and lost his world. His feet and his fate led him on a mysterious (epic) journey home. All the stories on these pages are the foot falls of people, not lost, but traveling, perhaps to a place they've lost, or one they've just not found . . .
"They tell you one thing but you are not free." London in 1802 is a dangerous place for black people. Elizabeth d'Aviniere, the mixed race great-niece of the Lord Chief Justice, who had spent her childhood in his home, now fears for her own children's safety and yearns for her mother, an African-born enslaved woman.
Witchbroom is a visionary history of a Caribbean Creole family and an island. Its carnival tales of crime and passion are told by the narrator Lavren, who is both male and female.
"A delight" says Nobel-prize winning poet Derek Walcott. Lawrence Scott explores a Caribbean world of yearnings and memory, of escape and return underpinned by the disturbing tensions wrought by religion, race, sexuality and crime. Sensuous and evocative, Scott's prose has a glorious lightness of touch and tone that exhilarates and illuminates.
