Sarah Beckett, one of Trinidad's best known artists, here dons her poet's beret to celebrate Trinidad, 'Land of the Humming Bird' or 'Iere' as it was called by its original aboriginal inhabitants, in verse. Her poetry ebbs and flows with a rich, convincing Caribbean cadence. She invites us to journey with her round the island's mountains, rivers, forests and coasts where we encounter the flora and fauna, the calypsonians, local parlance and steel bands, Trinidad's glories and sorrows, and the cosmopolitan 'callalloo' of nationalities that comprises its population.
