About Mangoes in the Summertime
Mangoes in the Summertime, by John Shaquille Poitier, a teenage poet from the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, shares a young man’s views of humanity through a colorful collection of inspirational poetry. The title reflects on those periods in life when one experiences moments of joy and peace (mangoes) for an amount of time (summertime) before the eventual periods of unhappiness.
Are you thinking about questions like:
Why do we exist?
What is the purpose of life?
Is there a Divine plan?
John speaks to these questions through poetry. In this book, which the poet calls a celebration of life, death, and everything in between, there are many heartfelt themes that range from humorous to heartwrenching, where the author bares his soul. The book fluctuates between ‘good and evil’ and ‘light and darkness,’ leaving the reader to wonder what truly defines our current state of existence-virtue or villainy?
