Zusammenfassung:	"GIVE THE BALL TO THE POET is an exciting new anthology of Caribbean poetry aimed primarily at 11- to 16-year-olds but with great appeal for all ages. In its pages you will find many well-known and loved Caribbean poets, while also discovering lively new voices. With an emphasis on the music of Caribbean poetry as it is spoken, this collection ranges from the light-hearted and lyrical to the serious and thought- provoking. Jane Ray's ravishing illustrations complement the poetry and bring the Caribbean to life. A deep sense of place is never far away, with many poems evoking the beauty of the islands while not forgetting their harsh histories. Published in time for the Commonwealth Games (Glasgow, 2014), the anthology features some outstanding poetry on sporting themes; one of several works specially commissioned for the book is a tribute to Usain Bolt by Mervyn Morris. Give the Ball to the Poet distils the essence of a vibrant range of traditions in a celebration of human struggle, endeavour and achievement."--front cover flap
