Poetic Tokens in the Rubble! Tanya Shirley

A disclaimer: This list is by no means complete but obviously space is limited. The quotes from poems are meant to serve as practical examples. They are all from Caribbean poets. I could not quote from every Caribbean poet and many of our great poets are not included. Forgive me for this random selection and I hope you will use it as a starting point to explore the rich offerings of Caribbean poetry. I wish you well on your journey. May the muse leave bread and wine at your table.
