![]() ![]() It is a simple statement but by placing it on its own it draws attention to itself. The actually start of the poem begins with the word “Morning”. From the start of this poem, you can see that he still has a strong connection with his original home and culture from the title “Island Man”- at least in his dreams anyway. ![]() It seems that he has been dreaming of his island and for a few minutes on waking it is if he his back there. To begin with, “Island Man” is about an unnamed man (even though I have found out that it was written for her husband- John Agard), who has travelled to London for work, but still yearns for the Caribbean. And also in “Nothing’s Changed” it tells us of the poet returning to District Six, in South Africa, and his feelings towards the area. For example “Island Man” shows the deep connection between this man and the island where he was born. Each poem, instead of directly linking with the chosen title, deals with the connection of people to places where they used to live. For this essay, I will be looking at the poem “Nothing’s Changed”, by Tatamkhulu Afrika, and the poem “Island Man”, by Grace Nichols. ![]()
