Pamela Mordecai

Broschiertes Buch

Certifiable

Beschreibung

Certifiable pushes collective ideas of the human condition -- white/black, sane/mad, Canadian/Jamaican -- into a matrix of unstereotyped experience where we manoeuvre only by dead reckoning and by the light of the word. In language guided by the creole soundscape, Mordecai's poems explore the truths hidden beneath the ideal of love, the fullness of sisterhood, and the intimate knowledge of little and big madnesses.
