Description
In response to Anthony Kellman's first collection of poems, In Depths of Burning Light, Kamau Brathwaite wrote of being "startled and excited by his original vision."
Of Watercourse, the celebrated Martiniquan poet and novelist Edouard Glissant wrote: "Watercourse is more than a collection of poems. It is the continual amazement evoked by Caribbean landscape: a single dialogue between the sea and the land... a song whose dazzling waves foam among the islands... Anthony Kellman's poetry has the strength and sweetness of vegetation with the power of progressively revealing to us the nature of the earth in which it grows."
"His enchantment is that dangerous, double-edged power of a Prospero, a magician who has visioned life in all its complexity..."
Joseph Bruchac
The collection is illustrated by the poet's brother, Winston Kellman.
Anthony Kellman was born in Barbados. He currently teaches at Augusta College, Georgia.
