Since the publication of her first collection, The Water Between
Us, Shara McCallum has steadily created a rich body of poems that
have mined the rich deposit of emotional and intellectual capital
found in her background of multiple migrations, culturally and
geographically. McCallum's poems reflect her rooting in a Jamaican
experience unique for her childhood in a Rastafarian home filled
with reckless idealism, the potential for profound emotional
pathology, and the grounding of old folks traditions. Her work has
explored what it means to emerge from such a space and enter a new
world of American landscapes and values. The Face of Water collects
some of Shara Mccallum's best poems, poems that establish her as a
poet of deft craft (and craftiness), whose sense of music is caught
in her mastery of syntax and her ear for the graceful line.
