Jean 'Binta' Breeze was a popular Jamaican Dub poet and storyteller
whose performances wee so powerful she was called a 'one-woman
festival'. Her poems are Caribbean songs of innocence and
experience, of love and conflict. They use personal stories and
historical narratives to explore social injustice and the
psychological dimensions of black women's experience. Striking
evocations of childhood in the hills of Jamaica give way to
explorations of the perils and delights of growth and change -
through sex, emigration, motherhood and age. Introduced by renowned
critic Colin MacCabe, the book brings together new poems with
poetry and reggae chants from four previous collections: Riddym
Ravings, Spring Cleaning, On the Edge of an Island and The Arrival
of Brighteye. Many of the poems are included on the accompanying
DVD featuring two Jean 'Binta' Breeze performances filmed by Pamela
Robertson-Pearce at Leicester's Y Theatre, plus an interview with
Jane Dowson.
