Within each section an intersecting narrative sequence complements, expands, and runs counter to the main voice, creating a complex web of interconnecting themes that stretch throughout the entire work. Moving from the search for the fantastic El Dorado to the celebration of the powerful rivers of Guyana, these poems explore guilt, sexuality, identity, and independence in life and politics. |
