The Last Train (Broadstone Books), the eighth full-length collection of poems by Mervyn Taylor, journeys through the poet’s Trinidadian upbringing through his travels across the archipelago, incorporating reflections on Carnival traditions and creating roots in Brooklyn. The immediate political climate of police brutality against Black American lives is captured in a specific section of the poems, bringing a Caribbean diaspora perspective to the ruthlessness of racism in the US, where so many Caribbean people find a home.
