Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. African American Studies. THE CAFE AT LIGHT is a collection of poetry and prose pieces that moves musically, and with rapidity and insight--Susan Stewart. The author of MOTH-WINGS, The Blaze of Poui, and The Black Reeds, Mark McMorris was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. His work draws from multiple cultural backgrounds that lend him a poetic voice that is at once deeply engaged in an English poetic tradition, but not afraid to trouble the terms of its extended contract--Publishers Weekly.
