Poetry. African & African American Studies. WHERE I SEE THE SUN – CONTEMPORARY POETRY IN ANGUILLA gathers a bounteous bunch of voices, 43 poets intent on entering the choir that would
intone a new song for Anguilla, carved out of its history, its politics, its heritage, its dreams and aspirations. Their names may ring hollow to many a literary critic or student of Caribbean
Literature, (with the exception, perhaps, of the venerable Bankie Banks, a true musical legend who has stuck to his Anguilla roots through thick and thin), but the important thing is that they
now will be heard throughout the region and beyond and the story they tell, a reminder that size really doesn’t matter when it comes to human experience and existence or for that matter where
it concerns creative output.
