Cannibal

Safiya Sinclair’s collection of poems takes Shakespeare’s The Tempest as the basis for exploring her postcolonial identity, evoking a childhood in Jamaica while exploring multiple themes including history, womanhood, US race relations, otherness, and exile. Her writing conjures up a picture of a home that is no longer accessible and a body that at times is uninhabitable, a facet often mirrored by a hybrid Eve/Caliban figure. Sinclair’s poems are elegant, mythic, intelligent and unforgettable.
