Singing Bass

In the 1960s, Landeg White was chief arranger and bass pan player for Trinidad’s Camboulays Steel Band. Forty years on, that same music can be heard in this, his 8th collection of poetry. Versatile in form, sensuous in language, cosmopolitan in range, White renews poetry’s oldest themes. His celebrations of love, language, anger and mortality are securely earthed in Portugal where he now lives.
