O knihe

In the 36 poems of this substantial book by Terence Roberts, man and woman are the sensitive radars of the world, wounded or seduced by romantic love and its loss, in ecstatic outdoor and indoor locations of the writer's native land Guyana, as well as other landscapes and cities in South America and Europe.
The achievement of The Wild Coast Arcadians resides in the book's startling ability to fuse language vividly with the tactile beauty and pain of the surrounding physical world. It will not be easy to put down or forget epic poems like "Americas Americans Amended," "'Night Passage," "Côte d'Azur/Ligure," or "The Archives of Paradise," not to mention numerous and touching shorter poems.
The overall effect is an open-minded linguistic adventure across hedonistic tropical and Mediterranean locations, bringing to mind Neorealist films by Visconti, Antonioni, or De Sica, or rare Nouvelle Vague ones by Lelouch, Rappeneau, or Beineix. The diverse cultural qualities of the collection also offer a bonanza of practical references to classic Hollywood films, literature, and art.
About the Author: In an essay on Terence Roberts, the late Raschid Osman, culture critic and senior editor at The Guyana Chronicle, wrote: "For Terence Roberts, art is constantly evolving, and this point of view allows him to maintain a freshness and vivacity to his endeavors; his works speak to the emotions quietly … he succeeds like nobody's business, and we are all the richer for it."
