Hello People of Brixton!
Do you remember,

To see yah daughter.

About the Book
Assorted Definitions: “An astute observer; a writer whose mind is not limited by location; but wherever he travels – physically, mentally or emotionally – his pictorial vision of life is documented, as in this second book in two years.” “Jeffrey has done it again! Putting life into the lifeless, giving vision to the blind; aspects of life and living vividly portrayed that will make this book, one that is difficult to put down, once started. The writer continues to bring Carriacou, its people, its culture and traditions at home and abroad, alive to its readers.” “Interesting.” “Prolific writing!” “Very good poetry.” “Serious and funny.” “Izzaak is coming from a different place, but still rooted in Carriacou.”
