Geoffrey Philp
Geoffrey Philp's new children’s book, Marcus and the Amazons: A Story of Resistance (Mabrack Press), combines the values of Marcus Garvey and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. into the story of a courageous ant who saves his colony from an evil tyrant. Philp also contributed an afterword to I'm the One With the Blue Cap On (Rock Press, $15.00) a posthumous collection of Jeffrey Knapp's poems, edited by John Dufresne, with a Forward by Michael Hettich. Culled from typed manuscript pages going back to the sixties, the poems span the length of his career, showing the early influence of the Beats and his fondness for the visual arts and pop culture. Throughout the range of his poems, Knapps's voice reveals itself as consistently strong, energetic and uniquely his own. Philp is an award winning Jamaican poet and fiction writer.
