Safiya Sinclair trae el vibrante paisaje y la compleja historia de Jamaica a su poesía. Su obra a menudo explora temas de identidad, desplazamiento y el poder del lenguaje para reclamar narrativas. La voz distintiva de Sinclair se caracteriza por su intensidad lírica y su profunda resonancia emocional, invitando a los lectores a un mundo profundamente personal pero universalmente relevante.
This stunning story of the author's struggle to break free of her strict Rastafarian upbringing ruled by a father whose rigid beliefs, rage and paranoia led to violence shows how found her own power and provides a unique glimpse into a rarefied world we know little about.
Colliding with and confronting The Tempest and postcolonial identity, the poems in Safiya Sinclair's Cannibal explore Jamaican childhood and history, race relations in America, womanhood, otherness, and exile. She evokes a home no longer accessible and a body at times uninhabitable, often mirrored by a hybrid Eve/Caliban figure.
