Songs of Jamaica

Songs of Jamaica by Claude McKay is offered here in a clean English digital edition prepared for fluent ebook reading. The work stands within english, irish, scottish, welsh and gives modern readers direct access to a public-domain classic with navigable structure and a restrained typographic presentation. The opening pages establish the book's atmosphere with this first movement: You tas'e petater an' you say it sweet, But you no know how hard we wuk fe it; You want a basketful fe quattiewut, 'Cause you no know how 'tiff de bush fe cut. De cowitch under which we hab fe 'toop, De shamar lyin' t'ick like pumpkin soup, Is killin' somet'ing for a naygur man; Much less de cutlass This edition is suited to readers who want a reliable, uncluttered version of the text for study, rediscovery, and sustained reading.
