Overview

Whispers of the Caribbean Wind is a lyrical journey through island life, told by the wind itself, the Caribbean's oldest witness, messenger, and storyteller. Moving from the hush of dayclean dawn to the heat of market noon, from twilight where folklore breathes to nights alive with drum, dance, and ancestral presence, this poetry collection carries readers through the full rhythm of Caribbean existence. The wind drifts through cane fields and schoolyards, rum shops and rivers, funeral tents and festival streets, gathering stories as it moves, stories of labor and laughter, faith and fear, love and loss, spirits seen and unseen. Rooted deeply in Caribbean culture, language, and oral tradition, these poems honour the everyday rituals that shape island life: sweeping yards at sunrise, market calls rising with the heat, fishermen reading tide and sky, elders praying softly into the night. Folkloric figures, La Diablesse, Soucouyant, Papa Bois, River Maman, appear not as distant myths but as living presences, woven naturally into the landscape and memory of the people. Written with rich sensory detail and infused with Kwéyòl rhythm, Whispers of the Caribbean Wind treats the land as a speaking body and the wind as its voice, carrying gossip from verandas, hymns from tin-roof chapels, drumbeats from back-alley gatherings, and the names of ancestors who never truly leave. Each poem stands alone, yet together they form a continuous breath, circling from morning to night and back again. This collection is both intimate and expansive: a love letter to the Caribbean, a preservation of cultural memory, and an invitation to listen closely to what the islands have always been saying. Whether rooted in the region or encountering it for the first time, readers will find themselves carried gently, insistently, home, on a wind that remembers everything.
