Deep Water

Deep Water (Self-Published), a debut collection of poems by Trinidadian musician and writer Kobie Alleyne, delves into themes of self-discovery and transformation, utilizing extended aqueous metaphors. The book is sectioned into five movements, Low Tide, Rising Tide, High Tide, Storm Surge, and Open Water, each representative of an individual’s journey through the vicissitudes of life. While specific in their contexts, the poems of Deep Water retain a collective appeal for anyone who has endured grief, suffered hardships, and emerged victorious through life’s unpredictable trials and torments. Spiritual rootedness also crucially factors into the collection’s trajectory.
