His work illuminates Caribbean life and post-colonialism, with the sea and memory being a couple of the themes that his poetry explores.

In either case, Christopher Campbell, head boy at Rusea’s High School in Lucea, Hanover, is not one of such boys. He speaks Spanish and French fluently, is a lover of English literature, and has recently published his first novel, The Ambitious Woman of The West, now being sold on Amazon."
