Days and Nights of the Blue Iguana

Though they traverse the wider Caribbean and beyond, Heather Royes' centre of gravity is always Jamaica, which arouses in her both love and exasperation. Ancestors, family and place are described with a painterly, compassionate eye for detail. This collection contains a selection from her first book of poems, "The Caribbean Raj".

Though they traverse the wider Caribbean and beyond, Heather Royes' centre of gravity is always Jamaica ('No exile -small sabbaticals') which arouses in her both love and exasperation. Ancestors - a nomadic family 'wandering up and down the islands', family and place are described with a painterly, compassionate eye for telling detail. The collection contains a generous selection from her first, now out of print book of poems, The Caribbean Raj.

Heather Royes was born and raised in Jamaica. She works as a consultant in HIV/AIDS and as a poet.
