Horizons : Selected Poems 1969-1998

To enter this collection is to discover a wholistic, self-created world of Blakean richness, one that is never static, but always growing to encompass new elements. Stanley Greaves brings a painter's perceptions and musician's ear to the writing of this substantial selection of his poetry. His themes include family, daily life, metaphysical speculation, the hard years of social collapse and political repression in Guyana, the strange visitations of inner imaginative life, and his comradeship with the great Guyanese poet Martin Carter.
