Opis

In Wandering Spirits of Exile, poems converse with art, bridging words and visual representation. This powerful collection breathes life into images, capturing their essence and telling their stories. Through three sections, the collection reimagines the exilic journey. Section 1 interrogates and illuminates the Middle Passage. Section 2 delves into the spirit-life of Jamaica’s Nanny of the Maroons, tracing the 'Nanny Spirit' through generations. Section 3 expands the narrative through artists like Mallica 'Kapo' Reynolds and Jean-Michel Basquiat, portraying the enduring legacy of Africans in the New World. With ekphrastic poetry at its core, Wandering Spirits of Exile weaves history and emotion, confronting institutional violence and social disenfranchisement. The Nanny spirit, a symbol of empowerment, guides readers through a journey of reclamation and resilience. This collection is a tribute to heritage, identity, and the uncontainable spirit of those far from home.
