Words Need Love Too represents both a summation âe" a drawing together of concerns that the poet has explored in his writings through the previous âe~years of saltâe(tm) âe" and a turning point, a hopeful new beginning. With hindsight we can already see the shadow of events like âeoenine elevenâe âe" which happened when Brathwaite was in New York, living only blocks away from the World Trade Centre âe" that inevitably drives the poet and his writing back into explorations of the dread spectrum.But for the optimistic epithalamium moment of âe~Words Need Love Tooâe(tm) the visionary celebration of poems like âe~Agoueâe(tm) again seems both possible and important to this poet whose early work had been as much about celebrating connection and the possibilities inherent in the Caribbeanâe(tm)s rediscovery of its African heritage as it had been concerned to chronicle the barbarities and hurts of the process of cultural alienation that made such a rediscovery necessary. In terms of the prevailing tone of Brathwaiteâe(tm)s later writing that optimistic moment may be short lived but Words Need Love Too serves as an important reminder of the emotional and spiritual range of this great Caribbean poetâe(tm)s work.
