Comment on Review – A Personal Agenda by Winsome Packer by Roger Panton

Roger Panton — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 19:45:04 +0000

I found it a litle ‘strange’ reading both the review and some of the comments because in my novel “Mr Alexander”, I touched on the theme of Jamaicans who emigrate to the USA and their superior attitude to those Jamaicans who immigrate to the UK. I look forward to comments on that in due course.

Comment on Danger In Daegu – A Poem By Michael Abrahams by Trevor

Michael has displayed a whole heap a talent. I am very impressed at how he managed to maintain the rhythm and not compromise the rhyming end words. I love the fact that he is able to use raw patois to create vivid images of the entire sporting event and did it in such a way that you feel like you are actually watching the race all over again. Michael, you did not miss a beat.

Comment on Book Review – Falmouth Of My Childhood by Margaret

Margaret — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 22:23:59 +0000

I agree with the writer that it is important for the seniors to leave some information about how things was when there were growing up in Jamaica. That’s what Backyardlabrish is all about, ‘Leaving a living legacy’ from the people who lived it. I would love to have Ms Mittoo as a guest on my radio show. Hope she will get in touch with me soon at: backyardlabrish@yahoo.com
