In this insightful collection of poetry that brims with
self-deprecating honesty and sexual frankness, themes of
spirituality and gender relations are explored through topics such
as the death of friends and relatives, the anxiety of being a
foreigner in another country, the peril of unrequited love, the
importance of size in sexual play, and the premonition of tragedy.
With a deft handling of syntax, these thought-provoking epiphanies
on the human condition and haunted memories are full of earthy
sensuality and celebratory humor that are rooted in the everyday
details of living, loving, fearing, laughing, and hoping. Tanya
Shirley is an award-winning poet and educator. She lectures in the
department of literatures at the University of the West Indies as
well as a fellow of Cave Canem, a nonprofit organization dedicated
to the discovery and cultivation of new voices in African American
poetry. Her work has appeared in The Caribbean Writer, New
Caribbean Poetry: An Anthology, and Small Axe: A Caribbean Journal
of Criticism.
