FOR THE SAKE OF MAGIC . . . POEMTRY IS LIFE! is divided into five sections. The two title poems appear in the first. Billion dollar scam in section two speaks to the controversy surrounding the death of the manager of Indias cricket team when the one-day World cup cricket championship was played in Jamaica and the Caribbean in 2007. No Tired Ones represent the chanting of elder Rastafarian sisters at Kingston Harbour where the President of Ghana and other foreign and local participants gathered in a ceremony commemorating the transition of African ancestors who drowned, involuntarily or otherwise via the infamous MIDDLE PASSAGE. Section three is mainly about the KNOCKINGS . . . an inner-city Jamaican slang for what consenting adults do, preferably in private. A handful of Lyrical sonnets is offered in section four of which Lyrical sonnet 7 (This Rooster) first appeared in Anthology Beloved Enemy. Game shoe in the final section is a tribute to the NBA and the early promise of Dwayne Wade, Lebron James et.al.
