Looting Hummingbirds - Selected poems of Daniel Thaly

Daniel Thaly, from Dominica, was once one of France's most celebrated poets. Then in the 1930s, came a descent into obscurity, caused in part by attacks by anti-colonialists. Here, for the first time in English is a selection of his lyrical and passionate poems with an introduction that pieces together what little is known of his life.
