Title: White River Blues
Description: "White River Blues" is the second collection of poems by Jane Ulysses Grell, spanning three decades. The title refers to her birthplace, the village of Delices in Dominica. Grell's poems, characterized by strength and delicacy, cover a range of forms and subjects. Whether exploring an east London pond or depicting the aftermath of a tropical storm in Dominica, Grell infuses warmth, wit, and a transcendent quality into her writing. The collection delves into snippets of life in various phases, embracing both joy and somber reflections, where resilience in the face of hardship is portrayed akin to the fighting spirit found in Blues songs of the African-American people.
