Description: Open Gate is the first bilingual collection of modern Haitian Creole poetry available to English readers. These stunning lyrics provide a fascinating look into Haitian culture, addressing a wide range of subjects--love, hardship, nature, and the violent political repression endemic in Haiti. Yet the humor, vitality, and linguistic richness of these poems testify to Haiti's indomitable spirit and the struggle for freedom.
Review Quotes: "The beauty of this book is that it presents new voices discussing old subjects."
--American Book Review
