"My first visual encounter with Dominica was through the paintings of the Italian-born artist Agostino Brunias, who made a career portraying the island in tame, stylized vignettes that glossed over the grim realities of colonial rule."
"Dominica bristles with volcanic energy and glitters with the two-toned leaves of its bois canot trees, flipping from green to white as they waver in the wind."
"Mastery of the lush tropical rainforest that covers more than 60% of the island is how the native Kalinago people survived invasion by the French and British, who forced slavery on the Africans who now make up four-fifths of Dominica's population."
"Perhaps recognizing the futility of pushing against the earth's generosity, the Jungle Bay Dominica resort leans into nature instead, set bang in the middle of the forests of Soufrière."
