By Richard Dey
These poems reflect the experience of a contemporary American writer and sailor in the West Indies. Richard Dey comes to the islands in a tradition that began with Philip Freneau in 1775; but it is also a tradition of expatriates anywhere, and of literate travel writing. The poems bear witness to the tremendous change in the islands as they moved from neglected colonies to modern mini-states, as well as the changes within the poet as he grew over thirty-five years, from youth through middle age. Almost unknown before Dey sailed there, Bequia, the place of these poems, is now on the literary map.

A Closeup of Paradise.
Here it is, the book that will take you to and through the daily activities of people who live in paradise. No matter what your vision or perception may be, and no matter where you believe your little slice of heaven awaits you, here is a closeup of what everyday living is like on a magnificent tropical island in the Western Caribbean Sea.
It is a view of the realities experienced by many who have gone before you. The fun and frolicking of islanders, the everyday events that make up living in a place most people will just dream about. It is filled with mirth, happiness, sorrow, humor, the unexpected, and sometimes grim reality.
If you have that dream, to explore those mystical places for yourself, here is a very candid view of what you may find, that is if you stay long enough to really get the feel for what may be your place in the sun.
This book will make you aware of things you cannot possibly know about until you have lived the life, and shared the dream.
It contains easy reading about the easy life; the daily encounters with the local people, their food, their superstitions, and their aspirations, with zany and often hilarious misconceptions about the way things actually are. You will be informed and entertained, and you will delight in the characters who emerge from these pages.
Read it, and discover paradise for yourself.
