Fault Lines by Kendel Hippolyte
With verbal urgency and visionary imagination, this collection features the work of one of the Caribbean's most important poets. Presenting what life is like on a small island, vulnerable to the wounded thrashings of world capitalism in crisis--an island where livelihoods are destroyed at the flourish of a Brussel bureaucrat's pen; where Paradise is a tourist cruise ship that reminds the people of their neocolonial status; and where global consumerism has poisoned the ambitions of the young into drugs, crime, and violence--these candid poems are a warning of the perils fragmenting societies and ecologies.
Born in St. Lucia in 1952, Kendel Hippolyte is a poet, playwright and director. He has published seven books of poetry, and his work has appeared in various journals such as The Greenfield Review, The Massachusetts Review and in the anthologies Caribbean Poetry Now, Voiceprint, West Indian Poetry and many more.
