'From Berbice to Broadstairs is a superb collection evocative of Guyana. It is robust with poetic intelligence and sensual in its use of language'.
                                       - John Lyons, poet.


'In this new volume of poems, Maggie Harris continues to examine the ever-evolving relationship between her childhood in Guyana and her adulthood in the UK. The resulting poems are elegant, passionate and flower-strewn works that stride across timescales and landscapes displaying the selfhood of a poet who carries her child-country on her shoulders. From her home in Kent -- itself a region that continues to be shaped by new arrivals, different dialects and, consequently, a mix of folklore -- Maggie Harris's writing illuminates the past and the present.'
                                       - John Rice, poet and storyteller.


Maggie Harris won the Guyana prize for Literature for her first collection, Limbolands in 2000. Her new collection From Berbice to Broadstairs reaffirms her position as a Caribbean woman poet located firmly in British soil.
