Mervyn Morris was appointed Poet Laureate of Jamaica in 2014. He has had an
abiding impact on the literature of the Caribbean as poet, essayist and teacher.
Peelin Orange, with its mix of Englishes (Standard, Jamaican Creole - patois -
and a combination of the two), and its variety of forms, from free verse to
metred and rhymed measures, represents half a century of invention and
re-invention. Morris knows how universals can inhere in the local, the
incarnation in a Caribbean setting. With his light, intense musicality, he
speaks to and for a community. His wit, his love of people and places, his
anarchic 'Afro-Saxon' spirit, ensure that his poems are full of surprise in
language, image and in the turns of sense they make.
