| Introduction | Canadian Literature writes, “one of those rare poets who gets the recipe of humanness exactly right” and the Halifax Chronicle Herald, “Persaud is dauntlessly brainy…a bit like reading T.S. Eliot mixed up with Rabindranath Tagore…. Persaud’s poems are unapologetically learned.” I am the author of 12 books of poetry and fiction. |
