Synopsis

Life can be strange and people can be stranger still. The short stories and poems by this first time writer illustrate the quirks of our fellow humans, as well as the meaningful and whimsical moments that mark all our lives. In the stories 'The Two Islands', 'The Valley of Doves', 'The Boy and the Butterfly' and 'Seaweeds', this Caribbean author addresses issues such as intolerance, spirituality and love- sometimes in a fairy tale like manner, other times in a matter-of-fact way. The book also contains poems which seek to voice some of the dreams and whispers we all carry inside of us.

About this title

From the Author:

"Our lives are just like stories; each day the beginning of a new episode in the miniseries we call our existence. The goal of everyone is to get that happy ending, whether that involves the obligatory prince on the white steed or the comatose princess hidden away from the corruption of human society, the slaying of a dragon, the conquering of the world or just obtaining peace, we want to know that when we close our eyes for the final time we have walked away from this world with ‘The End’ said in the most satisfactory tone of voice possible.

"The stories and poems in this collection are in a way a retelling of stories I have shared with my friends. They are patches of many emotions, dreams and whispers from my subconscious. They do not venture to tell the story of a life but are tiny shards of one that can be kept as curiosities to be dusted off and looked at once in a while."
