Bahamian Scene

$21.26

Susan J. Wallace
Bahamian Scene is a colourful and exciting volume of poems depicting with great insight, many aspects of Bahamian life. The verse is a record of the people and the islands in the mid and later sixties – a time of political, social, technological and silent revolution. Conditions and customs changed rapidly, and the author has captured the ways of the people of her beloved islands.

Through her work, this unique lifestyle will be preserved.The poet uses the Bahamian dialect in most of these poems and a colourful and rhythmically rich language flows easily. The dialect adds to the authenticity of the poetry, as Dr. Wallace describes the physical beauty of the islands, and the friendliness of the good-natured Bahamian people. Their wonderful sense of humour is evident throughout the poems.
