Great Regulars: Cyril Dabydeen's freshest book, Unanimous Night,

recently released by Windsor's Black Moss Press, receives top-notch critical attention from the brilliant poet and play-maker George Elliott Clarke. Unanimous Night promises to garner further literary acclaim for Dabydeen whose poetry--filled with the spirit of exploration, fused with the challenges of immigration and peppered with indignation at issues of political injustice--simply wows. His language whisks the reader off in a whirlwind of iconic figures and exotic locations as diverse as Guevara, Havana and Newfoundland.

Egawds, how the mighty have fallen, crawlin' all over what Allen Tate called mass mindset for the maltitudes--Oh, okay, I paraphrase--but, man-oh-mannequins!
