The Arrivants: A New World Trilogy by Edward Kamau Brathwaite

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A good collection of poems that address the topics of slavery and black Atlantic literature. As with all collections, some poems will speak more to the reader than others.
The poems range from almost story-like in narration to very metaphorical and lyrical.
As part of my Black Atlantic Literature class, this collection is a nice supplement to the autobiographical texts I had to read up to this point.
