So looking through a map
of the islands, you see
. . . the sun’s slums:
if you hate
us. Jewels, if there is delight
in your eyes...

Edward Kamau Brathwaite (11 May 1930 – 4 Feb 2020) Legendary #Caribbean poet, academic, born 94 years ago today, in Bridgetown, #Barbados.

Always my favorite writer.... Kamau Brathwaite... His last sentence to me in an e-mail after Hurricane Maria was "Do you know what happened to the iguana?" About the 5-foot iguana weathering the storm in my backyard, safe in a broken tamarind tree. That caring... ❤️best writer
