The Arrival of Brighteye and Other Poems Zusammenfassung

The Arrival of Brighteye and Other Poems Jean Binta Breeze

The poems of The Arrival of Brighteye are Caribbean songs of innocence and experience. Striking evocations of childhood in the hills of Jamaica give way to explorations of the perils and delights of growth and change - through sex, emigration, motherhood and age. Moving from intense lyricism to witty commentary to the dramatic monologues for which she is internationally renowned, Jean 'Binta' Breeze's fourth collection shows a Caribbean writer at the height of her powers. Whether it be the Wife of Bath speaking Jamaican wit and wisdom about men and sex in Brixton market, an old warrior of carnival facing up to the loss of his powers, or quieter evocations of love and memory, these are poems that delight in the richness of a difficult world.

The Arrival of Brighteye and Other Poems Bewertungen

A major, perhaps even a great voice. For stature, Jean "Binta" Breeze invites a Caribbean comparison with Maya Angelou, except that her range is broader still. Her poetry shifts effortlessly through standard English to a native Jamaican which has no equal in its emotional depth. -- Alexander Linklater * The Herald *
Breeze sings of sisterhood and the private spirituality that keeps the head above water even when prejudice, and laundry, threaten to drag it down. Her work, and that of a great many other black women writers, affirms life in a way that the rest of the world might do well to emulate. -- Tania Glyde * Independent *
