DESCRIPTION OF BOOK Beverly E. Dyer-Groves, a native of Jamaica West Indies brings her first book of poems into print after living on the island for over thirty years and residing in America for the past nineteen years. Her learning experiences and love of writing have inspired her to express her thoughts and feelings through poetry. My Island, the Land of Sunshine consists of poems written in various figurative expressions that will appeal to its readers as they read for fun, information and insight. These poems are written for readers of all ages. Some of them express love, things of nature and nostalgia. My Island, the Land of Sunshine is Jamaica—one of the islands in the Caribbean Sea. It is ranked as one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world. Relaxing moments on the white sandy beaches of the island's north coast have attracted thousands of visitors all year round. This tropical island entices one to visit—for excitement, relaxation and peace of mind. By contrast, America, especially the Midwest, entices tourists with its dramatic climate changes. Dyer-Groves has captured this dichotomy in her writing.
