Charles Luke Powell has deliberately chosen to show only the beauty of these lands. An exceptional serenity permeates, like a light, his photographs: grandiose landscapes, lands and lives on the margins of time, ancestral gestures.

When Bob Turbett got out of the cab in front of Mrs. West's, the first thing he noticed was the lawns. He was the man who would have to mow them. It was his summer job, helping out at Mrs. West's in return for room and breakfast while he was study at summer school. The house was an angular gray monster; the woman who opened the door to his ring had eyes that blinked and roamed, and uncared-for hair, held in place randomly. She said she was Miss Summers, Mrs. West's sister. "Mrs. West doesn't feel up to seeing you right now," she said. "You're going to have the room on the top floor. Betty Clay used to have it, but she's a paying guest now, on the second floor." Miss Summers was about to help Bob carry his things up to the… Read More

The author was born in Trinidad and moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, in Canada in the late 1960s.

The poems explore the effects of colonialism, ancestral memories, and immigration on the poet's journey from youth to maturity. The frantic push for first-world development, rapidly eroding the once-pristine landscape and simple way of life of a third-world island, and creating a new race of colonials, it is passionately delineated."A brave and beautiful collection – at times reflective, at times haunting, but always, challenging us to rethink our ideas of home and our dilemmas of belonging." – Ramabai Espinet

First Edition. 232 p.; contains index. From back cover: Serial killers like Seattle's Ted Bundy, Maryland's Beltway Sniper, Atlanta's Wayne Williams, or England's Peter Sutcliffe usually outsmart the task forces on their trail for long periods of time. Keppel and Birnes take readers inside the operations of serial killer task forces to learn why. What is the underlying psychology of a serial killer and why this defeats task force investigations? This is the first book of its kind that combines state-of-the-art psychological assessment experience with the expertise of a homicide investigator who has tracked some of this country's most notorious serial killers. The author also brings to the book hands-on best practices gleaned from the experience of other task forces. Readers, both professional and students, will benefit from the comprehensive and critical case reviews, the analysis of what went wrong, what went right, and the after-action recommendations of evaluators in the US, UK, and Canada.
