Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Acknowledging an inheritance fostered in the seedbed and transitional territory of Guyana, South America, this work is a gifted assay in three poems on the community of humanity and its expeditions in imaginative territory. Legend, myth, and intuition find equal footing with Heidegger, quantum physics, and qualitative theory.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume enriches Caribbean poetry by bringing it to new dimensions of imagery and philosophical tradition drawn from the Indian ancestry of the author. The imagery of cobra and Kundalini from Tantric Yoga mesh with a political and personal engagement with both Guyana and, more recently. Canada. This is a meeting of a thoroughly modern sensibility with the riches of an ancient tradition.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One of the few examples of Anglophone Spanish Caribbean magical realism, this novel follows the journey of a literary figurist, Leon-Battista Mondaal. He is traveling in an ethnographic team sent to record the annual masquerade held Christmas Eve in the east coast villages of Guyana when disaster strikes. This natural disaster not only destroys the region, population, and crew, but also Leon-Battista's memory. He is left to dually recall and construct his identity. Questioning the hegemony of recorded history, this story develops a striking contrast between time and experience.
