"4-Headed Woman" is a journey into and through womanhood--from
preadolescence through menopause--and an exploration of women's
relations with one another. The poems employ female domestic
imagery, manifest in the titles in the book's first section, which
name different types of breads found throughout the world--from
coconut to pita. Yet many of these poems are sparse and abstract in
their trajectory. The poems in the second section focus
specifically on menses, weaving together biological, folk, and
cultural aspects in a humorous tone. The third section, "Graffiti
Poem," comprises poems centered around college restrooms, which
Adisa sees as a site of communication--through graffiti among other
means--for students on a wide variety of social-sexual issues. In
"4-Headed Woman, " Adisa bravely explores and uncovers taboos about
womanhood in a controlled and at times lyrical style laced with
humor.
