Caribbean Counterpoint: The Aesthetics of Salt in Lasana Sekou Florian

Literary Nonfiction. Music. Caribbean Studies. CARIBBEAN COUNTERPOINT explores the writings of Lasana M. Sekou, a highly eloquent poet and lyrical performer. Dr. Florian's study delves deep into not only the poetry but also into the fiction and essays of this politically committed, coolly confident, witty and lively writer and activist.--Anton G. Leitner A well-known poet, fiction writer, journalist, social activist, educator, and nationalist for the independence of St. Martin, Sekou is no doubt already having, and will continue to have, an influence on writers from elsewhere in the region.--Earl McKenzie
