"This is an evocative and languorous epic love poem in the tradition of the great Indian Sages, which tells the stories of whole peoples' histories and individuals' dramas. Written entirely in verse, "The Hummingbird" conjures up the lush world of ancient India and the wrecking powers of colonialism which, in cold ignorance of a culture, transported by force the people who lived in it to a new world (Guyana) and an alien life." - John van Burek
