Jane King is very much present in these poems, though never in
obvious autobiographical ways. She is the observant eye taking in
the beauties and droughts, climatic and human, she sees in St Lucia
and in the semi-public lives of her neighbours. Hers is also the
inward eye that plumbs dream states, the unconscious and the
alarming darkness that the free-floating imagination sometimes
reaches. If the poems selected from her previous collections, In to
the Centre and Fellow Traveller have a greater focus on the
absurdities of race, the traps of history and the dread context of
Caribbean postcolonial politics in the 1980s and early 90s, and
witty acidic poems on gender and male betrayal, Performance Anxiety
takes further those signs in the earlier collections that Jane King
is a distinctively original explorer of the inner person, and of
the world on the margins of perception.
