Download or read book Florida Bound written by Geoffrey Philp and published by Peepal Tree Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geoffrey Philp's poems of exasperation and longing explore a reluctance to leave Jamaica and the 'marl-white roads at Struie' and anger that 'blackman still can't live in him own/black land' where 'gunman crawl like bedbug'. But whilst poems explore the keeness and sorrows of an exile's memory, the new landscape of South Florida landscape fully engages the poet's imagination. The experience of journeying is seen as part of a larger pattern of restless but creative movement in the Americas. Philp joins other Caribbean poets in making use of nation language, but few have pushed the collision between roots language and classical forms to greater effect. "Philp weaves dialect and landscape into his lines with subtle authority. It is easy to get caught up in the content and miss the grace of his technique." Carrol Fleming, The Caribbean Writer. Geoffrey Philp was born in Jamaica. He now lives and works in Miami.
