The book explores the evolution of Caribbean poetry, tracing its roots from the reggae music of the 1970s to the spoken-word movement of the 1990s. It highlights how artists like Bob Marley and Peter Tosh shaped the poetic landscape, reflecting a political and cultural awakening driven by African consciousness. Kwame Dawes examines the unique blend of influences—European, Indian, and Chinese—within Caribbean nations, illustrating how these diverse traditions create a dynamic tension in contemporary poetry.
