Today is a happy day for all the workers. Today is payday! I got up early to reach the bank before the crowd. When I arrived at the bank, I met many of the workers. All had happy smiles on their faces Because we lived from paycheck to paycheck. In a debut volume of poetry that reflects more than sixty years, Myrna Kanneh shares intriguing insight into some of her experiences growing up in Trinidad. Myrna explores a variety of themes and subjects that include the informal coffee breaks at work, exorbitant wedding plans, a walk to Mount Saint Benedict, the courting days of a now ninety-six-year-old man, the conversations heard while riding the bus, an invitation to run for political office, an elderly woman's birthday party, the diverse personalities of the various neighbors and friends, and many more caricatures based on memories from childhood to present. Her vivid depictions bring her experiences to life. In this unique collection of free verse, a new voice in Trinidadian poetry shares lyrical insight into the conversations that surround daily life among certain segments of the society on this beautiful West Indian island.
