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. Blooming with intense lyricism and fertile imagery, they are elegant, mythic and intricately woven.
