Journal Article
The Nature of Velma Pollard
2025
Overview
Soon after beginning my undergraduate degree at the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona, I came face to face with Velma Pollard in a corridor between classrooms. The nature of Velma-her love and empathy for people, her respect for the environment and different cultures, her expansive knowledge and innate curiosity, her celebration of life-is there in her poems. Velma, who could talk for hours about the ravages of war, the plight of the disenfranchised, the effects of natural disasters and still manage to squeeze in advice about our health and general welfare, is still with us in her poems.
