The poet, a West Indian with roots in visual art, uses the word 'Colours' as a verb, inviting you to paint him as a lover, dreamer, friend, observer, anti-colonial, and thinker on the subject of death: his own. Each 'colour' represents a blend of real and imagined experiences from an individual deeply in love with words and rhyme. In this collection, he shares poems that explore the spectrum of his life: the vivid hues of a husband, father, friend, teacher, and many other adventurous roles that have shaped the palette of his colours.
