What they say
“It is a stunning collection of poems that establishes a conversation with visual artists of the Caribbean. The collection stands out for its stylistic and tonal diversity as well as its subject matter that ranges from the portentous to the banal. There is much to admire in this outstanding collection.”
– Judges’ comment about Canouan Suite which received one of two honorable mentions in La Casa de las Américas Literary Award for Anglophone Caribbean Literature.

Readers of Philip Nanton’s Island Voices (also published by Papillote Press) will be familiar with his storyteller’s ear but Canouan Suite and Other Pieces gives us a sense of Nanton as a more complex, serious and accomplished writer than perhaps we had realised.”
