Sacred Silence (59 poems) traces past and present in one's journey, exploring the mysteries of love, despair and endurance, attachment and departure, longing, and fulfillment.

"Deeply meditative, full of sorrow, reflection and hope, these poems echo the sounds of Guyana's sonorous past - rivers and creeks, riot, thunder and bloodshed, the perils of the backdam.  Memory deepens the wounds and refuge is found only in solitude and a sacred silence.  This collection is a thoughtful and bittersweet dilemma - the past continually blotting out the present - and a notable contribution to the evolving literature of The Americas."

-  Ramabai Espinet

Poet, Educator and Author of "The Swinging Bridge"



Excerpt

"On a sideline dam in East Demerara
I carry a bucket of water
to quench my thirst for nostalgia.
On a sideline dam in East Demerara
I walk alone in the rain."

Excerpt from the poem "Sideline Dam"
From the collection "Sacred Silence"
