After Poems, Psalms

By John Robert Lee

In After Poems, Psalms, John Robert Lee puts twin dimensions of his poetry into a direct relationship. In using the fifteenth century form of the glosa, he makes extracts from Biblical psalms, core testaments of his Christian faith, as the cabeza, which form the poetic basis for the stanzas that grow from them. These explore the meaning of that faith to a man living in the neo-colonies of the Caribbean. In an island still oppressed by its history of enslavement, economic exploitation and environmental degradation, Lee's poems find solace not only in faith but in the spirit of resistance and often joyous creation in the arts of St Lucia and the region.
