Description
This book represents the very first sustained account of Caribbean women's poetry and provides detailed readings of an exciting range of innovative texts. The discussion is situated in relation to the predominantly male tradition of Caribbean poetry, and explores the factors that have resulted in the relative marginality of women poets within nationalistic poetic discourses. Denise deCaires Narain employs a range of cutting-edge feminist and post-colonial approaches to focus on a diverse range of themes, such as orality; sexuality; the body; performance and poetic identity.
