Description

Kwame Dawes' second collection of poetry, Resisting the Anomie, explores themes of disconnection and belonging. Poems from Jamaica, Canada, and Haiti are woven together with tightly controlled and wild works, expressing rejoicing, faith, love, anger, and humour. Dawes' poems capture the anxiety of being far from home and the sense of unease that comes with not belonging to a particular culture or custom. This substantial collection showcases Dawes as a new and significant writer, offering a diverse range of poetic styles and subjects. With its tightly controlled and free verse poems, Resisting the Anomie is a large and substantial work that invites readers to explore the complexities of identity and belonging.
