Gardening in the Tropics contains a rich Caribbean world in poems offered to readers everywhere. Olive Senior's rich vein of humour can turn wry and then sharp in satire of colourconsciousness, classconsciousness and racism. But her predominant tone is the verbal equivalent of a pair of wideopen arms. Praise for Olive Senior's work 'The thing that immediately strikes one is her control of tone like a singer having perfect pitch.' E.A. Markham
