Jamaica Tyrone White

It does not matter if you are eighteen going on to one hundred and nineteen, you are your own book of poetry with many poems in you, and there is no escaping it. The only trouble being: quite often, poetry is written like an abstract - something out there for other people; not for you; not about you and your realities; when, in fact, poetry is about you and your realities. But, as you will see, Jamaica: The Overture of Caribbean Destination Passion & Seduction captures the essence of these realities to which you can relate. So, now, forget the belief that poetry is merely romanticism and not for you. Because poetry is for you! For poetry embodies the things...realities...that are a part of the make-up of your daily life: love and hate; sex and unfulfillment; chastity and lust; restraint and hedonism; pain and pleasure; hope and despair; trust and betrayal; rights and injustice; life and murder; beauty and ugliness - all part and parcel of life, which poetry captures; and that is the focus of Jamaica: The Overture of Caribbean Destination Passion & Seduction. Jamaica: The Overture of Caribbean Destination Passion & Seduction shows how you dream of love, but you got an overdose of hate; you have a desire for sex, but you are left woefully unfulfilled; you seek pleasure, but you ended up with only intense pain; you look for hope, but all you experience is dark despair; you trust, but you are brutally betrayed... Only by focussing on concrete human experiences that Jamaica: The Overture of Caribbean Destination Passion & Seduction was able to capture the realities, and put these realities into words that, though difficult, have not become hackneyed and trite from constant usage, by myriads of suitors, over time. As you read through each stanza, you will be left bereft of words to describe the wondrous beauty of the essence of each poem. In the main, these poems are likened to a journey from the classical period through the middle ages to contemporary times, where politics and morals are in disharmony to the degree that the people suffer; where pleasure, love, and human satisfaction are priced in blood, sweat, and tears. But, nonetheless, where, in Jamaica, for all its ills, you will find passion; and you will be seduced by it. Captivated by the allure of Jamaica: The Overture of Caribbean Destination Passion & Seduction, on the one hand, you will close your eyes, breathe the fresh breath of life and bask in the undeniable realism of a time long gone, yet ever-present in your daily yearnings...a time when you sit beneath the shades of your porch and feed to satiety on nature's beauty. Simply, you will just reach out and touch! On the other hand, you will also be incensed with the actions of those whose sole intent is to destroy the thing of beauty that you hold dear. And, as such, whether it is at a time when the night is departing, or when the day is at its fullest, or when the evening is drawing near, you will still be filled with a heightened sense of wanting to read the next poem, though you will find it difficult to leave the one that you are reading at the present time.
