Safiya Sinclair prináša do svojej poézie živú krajinu a zložitú históriu Jamajky. Jej tvorba často skúma témy identity, odsunutia a sily jazyka pri znovuzískavaní príbehov. Sinclairin jedinečný hlas sa vyznačuje lyrickou intenzitou a hlbokou emocionálnou rezonanciou, čím pozýva čitateľov do hlboko osobného, no univerzálne relevantného sveta.
This stunning story of the author's struggle to break free of her strict Rastafarian upbringing ruled by a father whose rigid beliefs, rage and paranoia led to violence shows how found her own power and provides a unique glimpse into a rarefied world we know little about.
Colliding with and confronting The Tempest and postcolonial identity, the poems in Safiya Sinclair's Cannibal explore Jamaican childhood and history, race relations in America, womanhood, otherness, and exile. She evokes a home no longer accessible and a body at times uninhabitable, often mirrored by a hybrid Eve/Caliban figure.
