Synopsis

To live is to experience, to observe and to contribute. Life itself is a battle for which we must be equipped; it changes like the seasons of the year. Experience different aspects and realities of life through this thought-provoking collection of poetry, immerse yourself in the language, steel yourself to face the ideas it considers. We should not regard ourselves as victims of our circumstances but rather strive to emerge victors. 'So, keep on climbing up that hill, Though you have no strength; Tell yourself you'll make it And live for the day When you do.'

About this title

About the Author:

Ina Dempster was born in Jamaica and grew up in the 1940s. She became a junior school teacher at the age of seventeen, but later joined one of her older sisters in catering for tourists at a guest house on Jamaica’s North Coast. There, she relished the opportunity to meet foreign visitors from different parts of the world. Ina moved to the United Kingdom in 1961 and trained as a nurse; she has worked at various hospitals in Cardiff, where she and her family used to live. Ina has written three stage plays in her lifetime, and from 1986-1988 she was coordinator of Caribbean Focus and the Caribbean Education Project; this saw her receive invitations to work with various schools and colleges, including Aberystwyth University. Now a grandmother and great grandmother, Ina’s love of writing, which she has harboured since the age of eleven, remains as strong as ever.
