Looking for Cazabon [Paperback]

A poetry collection that blends Trinidads beauty, love, and history with underlying violence.Looking for Cazabon is the first poetry collection by the Trinidadian novelist Lawrence Scott and was inspired by the paintings of Michel Jean Cazabon, Trinidads most famous 19th-century painter, and the subject of Scotts novel, Light Falling on Bamboo. The poems - written while Scott was working on the novel - celebrate love, friendships and the islands natural beauty but it is a wonderment undercut by violence, both historical and contemporary.GB
