In this debut pamphlet, the author draws on her experiences as a young teen, emigrating from London to Georgetown, Guyana in 1976 for her mother’s remarriage. The poetry moves between intimate memory and wider social histories, examining sexuality, motherhood, loss and displacement. Attentive to the intersections of the personal and political, these thirteen poems trace the transformative journey of the female body while questioning ideas of home, identity, and inheritance.
