Wheel and Come Again is a dancehall session in poetry, taking readers into the heart of reggae, into the seduction of the drum and bass. The poems are not reggae songs without music, not dub poems intended for performance with a band, but poems mixing all the resources of language with the reggae mood, the reggae intelligence and the reggae aesthetic.

Featuring poems by almost 40 writers of Caribbean origin, Wheel and Come Again ignites poetic convention with the compelling spirit of reggae. Among the contributors are Canadian poets such as Rachel Manley, Afua Cooper, Lillian Allen, and Olive Senior; UK poets including John Agard, Jean Binta Breeze, and Linton Kwesi Johnson; US writers Opal Palmer Adisa, Fred d'Aguiar, and others; and Island poets such as Edward Baugh, Kamau Brathwaite, and Lorna Goodison.
