Introduction

238 Square Miles Submerged in Fascination is a collection of poems written about the wonderful island of St. Lucia (actually 238 square miles) plus her warm beauties and bounties that place her in the top tourist destinations in the Caribbean and, by extension, in the world. St. Lucia is part of a chain of tropical islands running between North and South America and east of Central America. Within the island chain, St. Lucia lies between 60˚ 53' and 61˚ 05' West longitude and 13˚ 43' and 14˚ 05' North latitude.

Certainly, I do not believe that it is a coincidence that St. Lucia has these two volcanic spires (Majestic Pitons) or is even blest with two Nobel laureates. These bounties are her marketing tools.
