Synopsis
A collection of poems published in 1934 to mark the tercentenary of the colonisation of Antigua. Its pieces, their subjects and their form are not known.
Context
The collection came off the presses of the Magnet Printery in 1934, two years after Out of the Unknown, the author's first book. The Wadadli Pen site, which lists the books of Antigua and Barbuda, includes it in its bibliography of the country's poetry. It was reissued in 2010, both in Trinidad and in Antigua, where it appeared from Entertainment Bazaar, more than sixty years after its author's death.
Who it is for
For approaching the beginnings of printed poetry in Antigua, in the 1930s, before post-war literature.
Prizes and reception
The collection received the King's Medal, according to Wadadli Pen, which specifies neither who awarded it nor when.
