Sparkling with sharp wit and off-kilter humor, this emotional collection shows a distinctly contemporary and urban Jamaica through the eyes of a surrealist whose sharp imagery and precise language expose the absurdities and contradictions of society. Written in a distinctly female voice that is modern and experimental, these poems explore a wide range of subjects, from the erotic to the ironic, with sophistication and imagination. Millicent A. A. Graham was a member of the Wayne Brown Writer's Workshop in Kingston, Jamaica, and a Calabash Writer's Workshop fellow who won the Observer Literary Award for Poetry in 2005 and the silver and bronze prizes in the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission Literary Arts Competition in 2005 and 2007. She has contributed poetry to Bearing Witness 3 and The Caribbean Writer, Volume 17.
