Pitch Lake

In Pitch Lake, Andre Bagoo, author of the Bocas prize shortlisted poetry collection, Burn, displays a continuing commitment to exploration and experiment. Andre Bagoo’s poems explore the multiple resonances of the title, where pitch signifies both the stickiness of memory – the way the La Brea Pitch Lake is a place where “buried trees [are] born again” – and the idea of scattering: of places and impressions and the effort to hold them in one vision.

Andre Bagoo is a Trinidadian poet and journalist. His poetry has appeared in numerous literary journals including: Almost Island, Draconian Switch, The Caribbean Review of Books, Caribbean Writer, Word Riot, Boston Review, St Petersburg Review and elsewhere. In 2005, Andre was shortlisted for a Derek Walcott Writing Prize. His first collection of poems, Trick Vessels (2012), and his latest collection, Burn (2015), are both published by Shearsman Books.
