A meteorite falls on Africa''s Mount Kilimanjaro and the area is transformed into a new world which provides the local inhabitants with all the necessities of life, as well as immortality. The story is told by an Irish woman reporter who is sent to investigate the meteorite.

First volume in an SF trilogy which charts the spread of an alien flora across the face of the planet, seeded on Earth by a meteorite strike in Kenya. By the author of "Hearts, hands and voices".

Ian McDonald''s poetry embraces Caribbean possibility with a romantic fervour which still acknowledges what is harsh and painful in the region. He has both the gift to see ''the ibis-bird in pigeons'' and an ironical consciousness of the poet''s gilding eye. There are love poems of lyric grace and stunning simplicity; exuberant paeans to nature in all its beauty, fierceness and cruelty; narratives which grip and characters who are powerfully memorable. Here is a celebration of life which is made all the more intense by the consciousness of mortality which lurks behind every vivid occasion. Readers who have enjoyed Ian McDonald''s recent work in the much praised collections Mercy Ward and Essequibo will be delighted by these earlier poems, only a few of which have been available to date in anthologies and Caribbean literary journals. Ian McDonald is Trinidadian by birth and Guyanese by long residence and adoption. He is the author of the recently filmed The Hummingbird Tree, four collections of poetry and a play. He edits Kyk-over-Al.

This collection is an invaluable academic selection and will provide a fine introduction for the general reader interested in the lyricism of Caribbean poetry.

Twee kinderen worden elkaars eerste liefde, maar dit lijkt voorbestemd om te mislukken mede door de vooroordelen en de bestaande geschiedenis rond ras en de invloed van de volwassenen in de kinderen hun omgeving.
