A slim volume of vignettes and poems which build a picture of the time Berkhout spent on a Bahamaian island establishing a community museum. She thinks about love, the sea and sandflies a lot. It's also funny, elegeiac and beautiful. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
This is a fictional account of an actual experience that took place on an out-island in The Bahamas. Through a collection of first-person prose poems arranged in a narrative, the author of the letters describes the feelings of isolation she endured on a small, remote island, and her eventual acceptance by the islanders. The authenticity and compassion of the community -- which lacks material goods taken for granted in her own country -- brings the visitor to the beginning of an understanding of this simple but rich way of life. In 2001, Nina Berkhout travelled to an out-island in The Bahamas in order to establish a community museum. Collecting artefacts, interviewing the residents on the island, and becoming part of the community, Berkhout's compelling story is matched by her descriptive, deft, and lyrical prose in this stunning first collection.
