Everyone Knows I am a Haunting Ramlochan Shivanee
Shivanee Ramlochan's poems take the reader through a series of imaginative narratives that are at once emotionally familiar and compelling, even as the characters evoked and the happenings they describe are heavily symbolic. They constantly challenge the stereotypes of the female. Her poems reference the language and structural patterns of the genres of fantasy or speculative fiction, though with her own distinctive features, including the presence of such folkloric Trinidadian figures as the Duenne, those wandering lost spirits whose feet point backwards.In these poems, a woman is invariably the protagonist and Ramlochan is eloquent in her exploration of the ways in which gender has to be negotiated.
In poem after poem, the female assumes the elemental roles of The female force that Ramlochan explores in her poems is creative and destructive, vulnerable and untameable.
