Featuring Caribbean Authors: 'Lilac Honey' by AM. ALI by Sari's shelves
"On good days like this, I am like water. I reach everywhere without worry."- AM . ALI
The Caribbean showcases a myriad of talents, yet unfortunately, our artists are often overlooked or undersupported. This is why it is important for us to support our local and regional artists by spreading their work and purchasing it ourselves. Today we are looking at a poetry collection by Trinidad & Tobago's AM . ALI.
AM . ALI is a poet I've had the pleasure of being Instagram mutuals with. She has an active social media presence where she shares her work and helps to boost other West Indian creatives.
AM . ALI is also active on her podcast, 'All things artsy and Caribbean alike'. Her social media pages and podcast will be linked below. With dreamy and sophisticated writing, She makes her debut with 'Lilac Honey'. The book is split into two parts, the first titled 'The Palette and the Canvas' and the second titled 'The Honey Pot'. The name of this collection and its parts are both intentional and beautiful.
Perhaps one of my favourite elements of this book is how the author ties her West Indian identity into certain pieces. 'Lilac Honey' overall takes on a variety of topics surrounding personal and heartfelt themes. In all of her work, we can feel the love she has for her region and the energy she pours into her poems. Some strong examples of pieces surrounding the Caribbean are "TOBAGO" or "On this corner of the world". These two are some of my favourites, though it's difficult to choose. There is a lot of range between the poems in this book and I believe there is truly something for everybody. From the beautifully designed cover and title to varied, profound pieces, I think this book is perfect for a summer read.
