Collected Poems: with Gordon Rohlehr These Collapsing Times: Remembering Q [Paperback]

Victor D. Questel established himself as one of the finest new Caribbean poets in the 1970s with three collections, all published in his native Trinidad:Score(1972) published jointly with his friend Anson Gonzalez,Near Mourning Ground(1979) and his posthumousHard Stares(1982). Sadly, Victor Questel died too young at 33 in 1982 – and who knows how his writing would have further developed. What is evident is that his poetry developed rapidly in the ten years between first and last publications, and that he left many fine poems that continue to speak to the present.

Victor D. Questelwas born in Gonzalez village in 1949. He attended Trinity College and the University of the West Indies at St Augustine. In addition to his three poetry collections, he published widely in journals and in anthologies such asNow,Caribbean Rhythms,MelanthikaandThe Penguin Book of Caribbean Verse.
