Staring Into My Soul is the long awaited, first poetry collection from Jamaican journalist and poet, Curtis Myrie. Inspired by the global legacy of Dr. Louise “Miss Lou” Bennett-Coverley and shaped by the spoken word traditions of dub poets like Mikey Smith and Mutabaruka, Myrie’s poetry is a call to resistance, reverence, and the baring of raw emotion. A celebration of Jamaica Nation Language and an embodiment of cultural defiance and resilience, the verses echo the spirit of Rastafarian wisdom and the struggles of the Everyman. Myrie paints a vivid portrait of life marked by political strife, cultural pride, and personal introspection. A voice at once lyrical and unyielding, Myrie’s rhythmic truth-telling helps us rise above the chaos.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Taylor, Phillip (illustrator). Neuware - Staring Into My Soul is the long-awaited debut poetry collection from Jamaican journalist and poet, Curtis Myrie. Drawing inspiration from the global legacy of Dr. Louise 'Miss Lou' Bennett-Coverley and the defiant rhythms of dub poets like Mikey Smith and Mutabaruka, Myrie's voice resonates with lyrical power and cultural urgency. This collection is at once a celebration of Jamaica Nation Language and an act of resistance-an honest, unfiltered look at life in a post-independence society where struggle and spirit live side by side.Rooted in the spoken word tradition, Myrie's poetry pulses with Rastafarian wisdom and a deep reverence for the Everyman. His verses depict a world where families live in close quarters, where children play amidst political unrest, where 'bad man run tings,' and government oppression shadows everyday joy. Yet, even in the chaos, love blooms. His storytelling is both raw and gritty-sometimes tugging at your heart, sometimes making you smile.Staring Into My Soul is more than a personal reflection-it is a poetic chronicle of survival and selfhood. This powerful debut is a triumph that offers readers a rhythmic truth-telling steeped in cultural pride and an unwavering sense of hope for communities too often left in the margins.
