Produktbeschreibung

Most contemporary books of poems are concentrated around particular themes which the authors explore from a variety of view points. Windows Of My Mind Is Different. It is different in that it speaks to no one theme, but is a selection of poems by the author after having written over one hundred titles. The aim behind the volume is to showcase the authors writing style which he has called conventionally unconventional. In doing so he has ranged from the divine to the debased. For example, the poem My Vision is about the origin of man and the planet and their destinations, while The Lies We Live underscores the vanity of human beings. Close to 25% of the poems can be said to have a religious thread running through them, but even so they are treated unconventionally. The Way, The Mountain Top, and Homeward Bound, should make interesting reading in this regard. Human frailty is another topic to fall under the pen of Rowley, as typified by Dishonours Folly and Loverss Lament. The author wrote most of his poems when he lived in New York, so it should surprise no one that his probing mind would have surveyed the American landscape. Might and Birthright and Afro-America and The N-Word are two of his offerings from the survey. Might and Birthright addresses the Native American condition, while Afro-America is about Afro-Americans (mainly in the entertainment industry) and their love affair with the N word. Rowley believes that everyone who opens a copy of Windows of My Mind will find at least a couple of poems that will resonate with his/her inner feeling on the subject matters, thus validating one of the aims of the book and his selections.

Autorenporträt

C. Lancelot Rowley is from the Twin-Island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. He was born and grew up in the eastern section of the capital city of Port-of-Spain. Rowley, who is an avid reader, started writing poetry in 2002 when he lived in New York. In 2008, his poem "The Way" received the Editor's Choice Award in a national competition. Since then, he has adopted a more serious approach to what was just a hobby, and, in the interim, has written more than 130 poems, over 300 maxims or proverbial sayings, song lyrics, and verses for greeting cards. This volume consists of 37 poems, specially selected by the author, to showcase the range of topics that has fallen under his pen. Mr. Rowley is currently back home in Trinidad.
