Gardening in the Tropics

Gardening in the Tropics contains a rich Caribbean world in poems offered to readers everywhere. Olive Senior's rich vein of humor can turn wry and then sharp in satire of color-consciousness, class-consciousness, and racism. But her predominant tone is the verbal equivalent of a pair of wide open arms.
