?Love of words and love of women combine to sensual and playful effect? Mich?le Roberts
?In this glorying in physical love, the language has the sounds of Carnival. The praisesong is for a special woman and for being the man. And in the offering of a share in the joy from night to night, spring to spring, the voice finds fresh counterpoints and newer and newer choruses...A popular book of love poems in a Caribbean voice has been absent; this could be its arrival?
