Love Songs from the Tropic of Nowhere comprises two volumes, these being Humpty Dumpty Woman, and The Brigand's Lament.
Humpty Dumpty Woman is the true phonetic transcription of the words of Trinidad Joe Dog, who lives in the hills above Port O’ Spain, in Trinidad and Tobago, where every day he goes down to the sea to make his living with his hands and his lines, and every night he stabs his dreams to death with a broken rum bottle.
The Brigand´s Lament is comprised of the collective observations of John Highcloud while spending many years adrift between wind and tide after being shipwrecked in Mombasa harbour, before accidentally rescuing himself.
