With strong surrealist leanings, Ainsley Burrows approach to language is revelatory in the extreme. In this collection, he combines unusual phraseology with occasional disregard for the rules of punctuation as he takes on the cancer of American foreign policy, using the rhythms of his native Jamaica to mould the street lexicon of New York into potent, eloquent protests and exhortations. Under his gaze, every word and gesture embraces new forms and meanings as Burrows touches on love, history and the universal struggle of the common man.
