About this event
The Department of Literatures in English (UWI, Mona) is pleased to announce the launch of Black Sand, a collection of new and selected poems by Edward Baugh, on Sunday December 1, 2013 at 11:00am, at the Neville Hall Lecture Theatre (N1), Faculty of Humanities and Education, UWI Mona.
Edward Baugh has one of the most instantly recognisable voices in Caribbean poetry with his dry wit, poise and elegance. Exhibiting a constant capacity to surprise by the range of his concerns, he has few rivals in formal accomplishment.
Black Sand brings together poems selected from Baugh’s two previous collections, A Tale from the Rain Forest (Sandberry Press 1988) and It was the Singing (Sandberry Press, 2000), with a collection’s worth of new poems.
