Thanks for your responses to Carter's poem, Farah and Ronnie. What amazes me about Carter was his ability to combine active politics (he was an anti-colonial activist, played an active role in the liberation of Guyana and later was Minister of Culture, Guyana) with poetry... his Poems of Resistance is really a fine collection -unfortunately, not very widely available...I would strongly urge you all to look up poetry from Guyana and the Carribbean - they have and continue to produce some fine poets and writers...

"Poetry is an attempt to put into words what is inside a person emotionally, intellectually, imaginatively. The poet's job is to find the equivalent, the verbal correlative of a particular feeling. This idea is from
T.S Elliot. The only difficulty is that there are no words for what you are feeling." ---- Dambudzo Marachera
