The poems in Moving On recreate moments of change, loss and epiphany. The long sequence, 'Goodbye Aristotle, So Long America' explores the years of study as a Jesuit university in America and the making both of a lifetime's values and of the sense of irony which has made it possible to live them. The author is a Jamaican who, as well as being a painter and poet, is the Senior Executive of one of his country's biggest companies.
