Description

A powerful debut collection from Safiya Sinclair explores our colonial history and speaks to our present moment. Drawing on her Jamaican childhood, Sinclair's poems confront Shakespeare's The Tempest and postcolonial identity, evoking a home no longer accessible and a body at times uninhabitable. These full-blooded poems are elegant, mythic, and intricately woven, with intense lyricism and fertile imagery that reveals the teeming intellect of a young poet. Sinclair shocks and delights her readers with her willingness to disorient and provoke, presenting a dark and unflinching portrait of the female body. A thrilling and entrancing debut, Cannibal marks the arrival of a lyrical voice in full possession of her literary powers.
