Renewal

“Poetry of rare gifts” — Canisia Lubrin, poet and award-winning fiction writer from St Lucia

“Revealing a hidden gem that never knew its own brilliance.” — Alison Donnell, author/editor of “Lost and Found: an A-Z of Neglected Writers of the Anglophone Caribbean”

Much admired by Nobel laureate Derek Walcott, the poetry of the Saint Lucian poet Irvin Desir (1954-2024) is published here for the first time. Appearing in only a few anthologies during his life, this posthumous collection at last brings to our attention a voice too long unknown.
