| Publisher Description: This book is a reflection of the author's life experiences, his love for art and poetry, his admiration of both the Jamaican Society in which he was born and American Society his adopted homeland. The illustrations in both poetic and visual art medias of important experiences in both cultures is now shared with the world. In his artwork he reflects much of the landscapes scenes and people he recalls from memory and artistically interpret and transfer these memories on canvas and in writing. Glendon wishes to share these experiences with the world, as of all these beautiful places he's traveled and experiences he's gained. But by bringing it to the readers of his book in simple but poetic language, some of it designed to be compatible with the rhythmical musical beats of the Jamaican Society, yet being able to resonate with the day to day life experiences, and the social traditions of the American Society. My hope is that there is a message of spiritual, cultural and artistic revival and transformation to all my readers. That there will be an enrichment of their knowledge and awareness and appreciation of the art and culture of both the Jamaican and American Societies as both subjects and topics are intermingled in the pages of this book. Looking forward to your comments and hoping that you will be motivated enlightened, entertained and informed as you view and read these works. I'm sure that much of it's contents are food for thought. God's richest blessings for reading and for your support. |
