Mark McWatt Knihy

This collection of poems intricately weaves autobiography with historical narrative and postcolonial perspectives, exploring the four phases of life: childhood, adolescence, maturity, and old age. Each section features a narrative that complements and contrasts the main voice, creating a rich tapestry of interconnected themes. The poems journey from the quest for El Dorado to the celebration of Guyana's rivers, delving into complex issues of guilt, sexuality, identity, and the struggle for independence in both personal and political realms.

Winner of the Guyana Prize, The Language of Eldorado has been long recognised as an outstanding work of Caribbean poetry, demonstrating meticulous craft in the placing of the individual poem in the architecture of the volume as a whole. Its beauty lies in its ability to convey complex ideas through concrete images that work on the reader both sensually and intellectually. Its focus is the relationship between language, landscape and the history of human settlement in Guyana. The collection is dedicated to Wilson Harris whose challenging and paradigm-changing ideas on these matters deeply influenced Mark McWatt's own thinking. At the heart of the collection is the perception of analogies between the nature of the Guyanese interior and the human psyche. For readers the way in to these speculations is through what McWatt reveals of his own process of growing consciousness. The power of dream, the recognition of what is seemingly inexplicable in one's own behaviour, the awareness of the masks and impersonations that humans employ feed into a developing curiosity about the psyche's hidden depths.

The narrative unfolds through a collection of short stories written by a group of graduating students as punishment for vandalism. Set against the backdrop of newly independent Guyana, these tales serve as a tribute to a classmate now feared dead. Each story not only reveals the teller's identity but also explores the rich tapestry of Guyanese history and its literary evolution, reminiscent of Chaucer’s storytelling style. Through this anthology, the author honors their shared experiences and the cultural landscape of Guyana.
