About the Book

This little book is so big on truth it stands as fine testimony to the Jamaican phenomenon of 'likl but talawa' - it may be small but it's packed with power. The strength and power of Juleus' truth is rooted in his upbringing in rural Jamaica. Whether it's the harsh reality of his early years: ("He would throw her / across the room / Some men make sport of such things"); the understanding he has of those whose love strengthened him ("we till the soil my son / so you may see your reflection"); or commentary on the contradictions of Jamaican society (..".it bedevilled me how Sista Alkin could cuss / so much rass on her way to the Church of God") - Juleus' well-crafted poetry speaks with insight, compassion and wry humour, deftly transcending his background of dire poverty and abuse. The Way I learned To Ignore is an accomplished first collection with powerful lessons for us all. -------------- A-dZiko Simba Gegele, Author of 'All Over Again'

About the Author :
Born in Jamaica in 1988, Juleus Ghunta is a youth advocate and motivational speaker. His traumatic childhood experiences have not only shaped his worldview but have also served as his main sources of inspiration. He earned a B.A. degree in Media and History from the University of the West Indies, Mona (2010). While at university he read and wrote poems for catharsis. His poems have appeared or are forthcoming in several journals including BIM: Arts for the 21st Century; The Ofi Press; Moko; Susumba's Book Bag; Poui: Cave Hill Journal of Creative Writing and The Missing Slate. Ghunta is the creator of the D.R.E.A.M.R.I.G.H.T concept, which he has transformed into a platform for inspiring others. Poetry plays an integral role in his advocacy and motivational presentations. In 2013, he received Jamaica's Prime Minister's National Youth Award for Excellence, for his peacebuilding and youth empowerment work throughout the Caribbean. He currently lives in Japan.
