Reseña del editor: Mervyn Morris is one of the most distinctive West Indian poets, and his work is characterized by economy, wit and humane seriousness. He makes elegant use of Jamaica's linguistic range, with poems in international standard English, Jamaican Creole and mixtures in between. These variations inflect his treatment of love, lust, time, memory, death, religion, politics, commitment, identity, history, art and other concerns. His poems frequently suggest the tension inherent in moments of choice. "I Been There, Sort Of: New and Selected Poems" continues the poet's exploration of self and society, 'reality' and the imagination. It brings together poems from three of Mervyn Morris's previous collections, "Shadowboxing", "The Pond" and, "Examination Centre", alongside new work
