Mangoes and Bullets by John Agard
The themes of these poems - steelbands, stereotypes, weathermen and English girls eating mangoes - mirror the poet's personal itinerary from the Caribbean: a journey with consequences that are political as well as meteorological.
John Agard from Guyana is an outstanding luminary of the exploding galaxy of West Indian-British troubadours, hilarious and moving by turns, with sharply satiric intelligence conjuring delighted audiences to join * Michael Horovitz *
