Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Drawing on a powerful sense of Trinidadian history and moving seamlessly between matters of family and matters of country, Jennifer Rahim's sometimes confessional but always sensitive poems explore the threats and realities of fragmentation--of psyches, of family, and of a nation. There is in her work a fine balance between the disciplined craft of the poems, and their capacity to deal with the most traumatic of experiences in a cool, reflective way. Equally, she has the capacity to make of the ordinary --in, for instance a sequence of poems about a family death -- something special and memorable.
