As an angel he lives in my heart; he lives in my imagination.
Hold my hand, my brother; your dreams are no longer frozen.
Now you will live forever, known to the world.
I represent your life and aspirations.
You occupy my space and live in my reality.

Although Colbert Skeete's life lasted only eighteen months, his short time on Earth had a lasting impact on his older brother, Colin.

In a debut collection of poems penned during the global pandemic, Colin lyrically unearths memories of his beloved sibling told through the lens of a brother who promised to thaw Colbert's frozen dreams through his writings. While focusing on the lasting legacy of sibling loss, Colin also shares poetry that illustrates the importance of both nuclear and extended families, chronicles the joys and pains of childhood, and provides fascinating insight into the culture and traditions of the people of Guyana.

Frozen Dreams is a volume of poetry that offers a touching portrayal of a brother as he vividly reflects on the loss of his youngest sibling and life itself.
