We live in a critical and oftentimes violent world. People are afraid to talk about what they feel, think, or believe. They withhold energy for fear of being ridiculed, punished, or excluded. They hide their deepest dreams and desires away and cover them up with doubt, insecurity, old experiences, and fears. Cynthia James know this-because that was her experience. Covering seven decades of living, traveling, and growing, Does My Voice Matter? follows James's journey of self-discovery and authenticity as she gradually recognizes that she has a voice-and learns how to use it. She uses her own life experiences as a backdrop for her exploration of how the voice is used as a tool of engagement; how a singular or collective voice can enhance empowerment, transparency, and accountability; and, finally, how expression can develop new ideas, shift cultures, political views, transform organizations, create laws, and improve lives. Written for anyone who wants to discover the power within that makes them special, Does My Voice Matter? has a vital message: Uniqueness is your own glorious imprint on this planet, and it is calling you to come out. It doesn't matter if your awakening is large or small, it doesn't matter what your age, race, religion, or history is-anyone can begin right where they are, right now.

Watermarked takes a penetrating look at the very emotional and traumatic experience of migration from a Canadian perspective. For refugees, it is understandable, but what prompts people to leave places of relative security to search for new lands and experiences? Toronto, the migration destination of choice for many, allows the poet Cynthia James, the opportunity to meet a variety of migrants and thus explore a range of enigmatic reactions. The poems look at factors such as age, ESL barriers, new adjustments to climate, the strength of people who undertake this mission, and how they cope or flounder in their everyday lives as they ride the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) service. Watermarked even takes a ride on a sightseeing trip, among a multicultural band, on a coach across provinces, to New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, facing the Atlantic. For the Caribbean migrant, in particular, poems reflect on the activities of subjects from far-flung empires and explore in continued amazement, what can cause once termed post-colonial subjects to return to swear allegiance to the queen. The poems in Watermarked are replete with analogies of ebb and flow, becalming waters and raging tempests. The four sections, Signs and Signatures, Parchment, Reversing Falls, and Google Knows Your Name, read like a continuous migration poem. The poems echo the bones of many Diasporas, and they are the meeting place for a myriad of unexpected cousins. Watermarked is Canadian, Caribbean and yet universal, suggesting alternative definitions of home and loyalty - beyond the limitations of places of origin and nativity.
