First published as a print collection in 1992, when the writer lived in the UK, Rotten Pomerack now - with “voiceprint” - more clearly presents the writer’s voice and instinct for storytelling. Poem stories move from the Caribbean and other places to the UK, often examining the paradoxes and complexities of existence. For the print publication, Michael Horowitz commented that the collection was about “the proverbial slipping on a ‘rotten pomerack’ (French Creole for the cashew fruit) which can make events take an unexpected turn.
