The Damp in Things (Peepal Tree)

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.
