Peelin Orange is the definitive Collected Poems by one of Jamaica's leading voices, the current Poet Laureate, Mervyn Morris. These poems explore the everyday, the erotic, love and the melancholy and comedy of being. Often drawing upon Creole dialect, Morris explores his Jamaican heritage with trademark musicality. Each poem offers a pared-down shard of concentrated feeling and social observation. This Collected Poems is a landmark tribute to the winner of the Order of Merit (Jamaica) 2009 and highlights his distinguished contribution to West Indian Literature.

The Jamaican Poet Laureate Mervyn Morris has had an enormous impact on the literature of the Caribbean. Peelin Orange shows why with its wonderful mix of Englishes, its wit, its love of people and places, and its sense of transcendence.

'One of the most significant poets in the Caribbean.' - Wasafiri Magazine
