Rhymes and Riddims of Jamaica is a collection of dub poems intended to educate, entertain and inspire readers. The book offers a snapshot of the reality of Jamaican life and celebrates the struggles and triumphs that we may face daily. Highlighting various social issues, themes and imagery in the book encourages readers to reflect on real-life issues but brings laughter, fun and joy to lovers of the creative arts.

The collection features a creative mix of poems from two poets, who share a passion for cultural expression and the performing arts. Some poems were written for the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC) speech competition and others most recently crafted, provide social commentary on issues pervading the society.

Authors of the book are happy to have highlighted aspects of the Jamaican culture through the use of the native dialect, Jamaican Patois, original stories and exciting rhymes and rhythms.

Feel the Riddim and enjoy the Rhymes as you peruse the pages and enjoy a good laugh from what the Jamaican culture has to offer.
