Barabajan Poems
This book is a collection of various types of writing, entitled Barabajan Poems, 1492-1992 authored by the Barbados postcolonial author Kamau Brathwaite and published by Savacou Publications in 1994.

In this collection, readers experience a number of Brathwaite's overwhelming ordeals in his recent life, shared honestly and sincerely. It is not only autobiographical but also represents a community defined by a Caribbean culture in transition from colonialism to a modernized independent economic state within the "new world order". It is fictionally and spiritually a magic book, serving as a counterweight to Prospero's books of magic in Shakespeare's play"The Tempest", and is a foil for the bygone landlords Christopher Columbus (1992 was the Columbus Quincentenary) and the fictional Prospero.
