In this poetry book filled with sweet childhood memories, Judith Shaw takes us on a journey back to Jamaica,
where Hardo bread is holy,
dutty gyal pack up inna tin of tomato sauce,
and every bottle of Ting is a zing-zing when yuh take a sip.
Where suck-suck was a pacifier fi di blazing sun,
and Grandma is a dance and music in her own kitchen.
And so much more... Dis yah book ah carry yuh straight back ah yard!
Through vivid language, cultural insight, and lyrical storytelling, Savouring Verses offers a heartfelt tribute to the tastes, sounds, and rhythms of Jamaican childhood. This collection invites readers to pause, reflect, and celebrate the simple joys that shape who we are. A love letter to heritage and home, it reminds us that food is not just nourishment-it is memory, connection, and poetry.
