Blue Goldstones

Bursting into prominence with his thought-provoking depth, heart-evoking prose and blazing intensity, the Jamaican-British Azuritë Amorë explores the intricacies of love, heartbreak and Caribbean diasporic identity politics in his compelling debut collection Blue Goldstones. From inebriating whirlwind love affairs, to sobering reflections concerning soulmates lost to time or circumstance, sealed with empowering meditations on self-love and healing: Blue Goldstones journeys hills and valleys with a self-styled "SoulJah of Love". As linguistic worlds collide with the innovative use of a trilingual tongue, Amorë braids the strands of Standard English, Jamaican Patois and Rastafari Iyaric, adding to the rich, rhythmic substance of this unique gem. A perfect gift for anyone smitten in the first throes of love, musing wistfully upon a flame gone by or for those who are in a period of restoration needing simply to inhale strength and exhale stress.
