Mrs. Banhan has mastered both aspects of Jamaica's oral culture. For over two decades she has written poems that have been used in award-winning performances in the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission's Speech and Drama Festival of the Performing Arts. Finally, after much anticipation, she delivers a rich compilation of poems that brings inspiration and laughter while transporting aspects of our creative culture right into the palm of our hands. We can learn about the Jamaican culture through these pages.
If you are in any way interested in learning about or re-living aspects of Jamaica life, this volume is both a must-read and a must-have for your personal collection.-Randy Goldson Ph.D. Candidate, Temple University
Early Reviews
So many memories... nostalgia. It is hard to read any of these pieces without creating some kind of visual imagery. Brilliant!!! - AnikaThrough [the poet's] words we are taught that no matter who we are, color or creed, we can all Chant a Psalms with pride for our nation and country. Tatiana
