More about the book

The collection showcases powerful poetry that intertwines themes of female solidarity, heritage, and the complexity of desire. Opal Palmer Adisa's work reflects on the interplay between historical, political, and personal narratives, emphasizing the struggle for freedom and joy in life. Through vivid imagery and wit, she explores topics like family, love, and the oppression of the female body, exemplified in her poem "Bumbu Clat," which critiques the transformation of a term for sisterhood into a misogynistic curse in Jamaican culture.
