Dr. Howard Fergus Historian and Writer

D. FThe Caribbean has produced a number of well-known authors throughout the region (Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago and even Montserrat). One such author is Dr. Howard Fergus, who has written a number of books. A lyrical, engaging and funny writer who can also be classed as one our premier historians. Many of his books have cataloged the history of our country both from his experience and that of many other Montserratians. This to me is very important as it is a record of our past which is being preserved for the future generations to read.

I have found his most recent book named MARCH MONTSERRAT AND HURRICANE POEMS to be a lyrical, engaging and funny piece of work. It displays his writing skills, while playfully injecting a bit of history and humor. In this book there you will find poems of different types. Below I have posted a picture of one of the poems to give a taste of what is included in this very well written book.

If you’re living in Montserrat, you can go to the library or you can purchase a copy from the University of the West Indies Open Campus or the author himself. If you reside outside of Montserrat you can order a copy from Amazon, I can guarantee that it will be an enjoyable read.

Poem

 

My First Love

Everyone have that one thing they love to do in their spare time; mine is reading a good book or watching a good movie. The first book I read was probably a Nancy Drew. The intrigue and suspense kept me going and motivated me to continue reading. Some people curl up with wine and chocolate, well just add a good book and I’m there.
