I'm so glad I found Kei Miller. I'm not generally a fan of poetry, but a poetic novel? Yes please. This could only have been set in Jamaica. While the overarching story is a race/class conflict, it's told through the day to day lives of the people it impacts. I listened to the audio book, and Dona Croll was a stunning narrator.

i want to get a place in my writing where i can tell the reader what is to happen and it still be impactful.
it is already a sad story. but then, there are so extra many pieces that just slot into place and make the book all the more heartbreaking. it jus come dung pan mi an a cyaan tek it.
