The story of Afro-Caribbean poet Norberto James Rawlings is one of migration, loss, adaptation, and reinvention that goes back for generations. Most well-known for "The Immigrants," a poem about a Black minority community of Anglophone sugar plantation workers, Rawlings's poetry has been performed, muralized, and celebrated in the Dominican Republic and beyond. While the principal theme in his early work is a concern for political justice and collective well-being, over time his work transcended the notoriety of his most famous poem. Bringing this selection of his work into English for the first time, this volume will expand the entry points into one of the most important Caribbean writers yet to punctuate the mainstream.
