to the beauty of his native St. Lucia in a praise song to Helen. e collection proceeds
to chronicle the development of the nation from the post colonial era to
independence and ends with the protest poetry genre which captures the problems

poignant social commentary. e collection explores timeless themes of West Indian
identity, independence, neocolonialism, politics and modernization. His use of

and the powerful protest poetry genre reect the pulsating rhythms of the society
and the poets undeniable passion for his art and the Caribbean community.
