Description
David Dabydeen's Turner is a powerful narrative poem that reimagines J. M. W. Turner's famous painting "Slavers Throwing Overboard the Dead and Dying". By focusing on the submerged figure of the drowning African, Dabydeen brings to light the hidden stories and desires behind the iconic image.
The poem confronts the complexities of history, exploring the tension between renewal and the enduring stains of the past. Through his inventive biography, Dabydeen sheds new light on Turner's work, inviting readers to consider the ways in which art can reflect and challenge our understanding of the world.
