This Edition brings us full circle. This Edition brings us back home. Island Dreams III-My Life As A Boy-Bahamas 43rd Independence Edition was meant to capture and freeze one moment in time that has shaped and given us all such a vision of the Bahamas. The same vision that my grandfather saw as he looked at mangoes growing so beautifully on the trees; the pride of a beautiful brown sapodilla as he admired the taste and aroma of one bite; the papayas, golden orange as the sun basked down upon them; the sweet smell of the sugar apples ripening on the tree; and ooooohhh the Sour Sop dripping with pure delight. May we remember the crabbing season, the hauling nets, and yes the smell of the sea grapes filling us with such sweet desire. This is our home land; this is the shores that beckon us all back; this is the land of Pindling, Hannah, and Cecil. This is our Bahama Land!! Foreword by: Dr. Donald M. McCartney, D.M. Cover photo by Mr. Tavar Major. Randy E. Simmons is married to Lucimar Simmons and they have six children Jonathan, Randi, Hope, Nayara, Faith and Mayara. They have four grandchildren Kaniya, Noah, Aria and Kierra. They live in West Palm Beach, Florida and Brazil.

Bahamian Scene

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
Bahamian Scene is a colourful and exciting volume of poems depicting with great insight, many aspects of Bahamian life. The verse is a record of the people and the islands in the mid and later sixties - a time of political, social, technological and silent revolution. Conditions and customs changed rapidly, and the author has captured the ways of the people of her beloved islands. Through her work, this unique lifestyle will be preserved. The poet uses the Bahamian dialect in most of these poems and a colourful and rhythmically rich language flows easily. The dialect adds to the authenticity of the poetry, as Dr. Wallace describes the physical beauty of the islands, and the friendliness of the good-natured Bahamian people. Their wonderful sense of humour is evident throughout the poems. Surprisingly and delightfully, strains of humour run through verse with more serious themes. In these verses, we see the philosophy and careful thought needed to initiate changes so rapidly occurring in the Bahamas. The rapid change created a kind of dynamism that lends itself to exciting and vibrant poetry. Readers will be delighted by this poetry, and enlightened by the poet's understanding of the Bahamas as an emerging nation.
