Looking for fresh poetry that touches both head and heart? Look through the pages of Brown Eyes Watching—an eclectic collection of story-poems on belonging, history, current events , and longing. Here, Jamaica meets Canada. Here, the same sun warms a white-sand beach and a silver lake, and the leaves of both maple and mango trees move in the morning breeze. Here, lyrical and spoken word poems rest and rhyme side by side, engaging young or older readers alike. Having been a Watcher since childhood, Vilma Blenman arrived in Canada at age 17. She has continued to watch people, places, and events all her life. She gathered her poems after teaching her students to write theirs and hearing them ask, “Miss, where’s your poem?” Read the collection that local poet Marianne Jones calls "superb". Show more
