O knihe

Whereas Balwant Bhagwandin's wild flowers was a gathering of thoughts and emotions, i hear guyana cry!, his second book of poetry, focuses on the destruction that is being visited upon his native land and its people. These poems speak of the agony from the mayhem and madness of yet another 'Turd' World country on the brink of a 'failed state' the like of Somalia and Liberia with warlords and child-soldiers, drug lords and their phantom enforcers and outright criminals instituting a reign of terror on the populace. 'This is a tragedy of calamitous proportion!' i hear guyana cry! gathers tears for the rapes, robberies and lives lost; anguish at the senseless murders, rampant brutality and bestiality unleashed upon the innocent and vulnerable; undiminishing anger and bitterness at the nation and its politicians for allowing this havoc to happen, for refusing to cast off their internecine animosities and get on with life for the sake of the country and especially the children; despair and cynicism for a future that offers as options little more than death in one form or another or flight... i hear guyana cry! is for all who have been traumatized and agonized for friends, relatives and neighbors in our homeland, for the homeland - for it is mourning and requiem!
