Publisher’s Synopsis

[Winged Heart] is a collection of poems of love, power, and ancestral memories. Set in the poet’s birth country, Guyana and new home, Canada, the weaving of emotional connections is captured in layers of meaning that illuminate an understanding of migration, tragedy and resilience. The healing elements of human survival and continuity form a thread throughout the poems.
