Inhaltsangabe
A poetic approach to revising and re-creating Caribbean mythology on an epic scale, this book-length autobiographical poem in five parts addresses the large themes of the Caribbean experience: history, migration, myth, and domestic love. The different movements vary in style and tone&;from blank verse, to terza rima, to heroic couplets&;but are unified by the voice of the single narrator, which changes over time. Prefaced by a passage from the Ramayana, the poem begins on the plains of Caroni, where the narrator traces his beginnings, and moves to an overnight bus journey through Europe, a sojourn in Toronto, and an account of a broken marriage, addressed to the narrator&;s daughter. The series of poems ends with &;The Last Avatar,&; a miniepic which recasts the Caribbean as a Hindu eschatological myth and places its heroes as the holy trinity of Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu in Caribbean terms.
