Eldorado - Land of Gold

The Republic of Suriname (also known as Surinam) is one of the three Guianas located in the northeastern part of South America.

In 1975, Suriname gained independence from the Netherlands, the country that — with some interruptions — ruled it as a colony for about three hundred years.

The other two Guianas are British Guiana (today called Guyana) bordering Suriname to the west, and French Guiana (which is still a French colony and called La Guyane) bordering Suriname’s east.

After my sudden departure to the Netherlands, hurriedly leaving the country after the infamous December Murders in 1982, I returned several times to Suriname between 1996 and 2012.

The poems in this book reflect my feelings, thoughts, expectations, and impressions with regard to my revisits of Suriname, the country where I spent my youth until I was fifteen years old.
