You read about a ship "in the thin tan waves / of dictionary pages," you see it later in a litter at the harbor's mouth. You travel to a conch shack, then you see "cosmopolitans / stalking the terrace." This collection brings you into a world that shimmers with the pleasure of travel, and stays with you long after you think you've finished reading it.

Part ode to the tropics, part ode to the sensual word, it may make you crave that "swollen drink with a sugared rim." Each page is a multi-faceted jewel that sparkles with creative metaphors and multiple meanings. Read it, then read it again: the poems turn like a kaleidoscope.
