Specifikacia The Fat Black Woman's Poems - Grace Nichols
Beauty is a fat black woman walking the fields pressing a breezed hibiscus to her cheek while the sun lights up her feetA stunning collection of poems from prize-winning writer and poet Grace Nichols.Nichols gives us images that stare us straight in the eye, images of joy, challenge, accusation. Her 'fat black woman' is brash; rejoices in herself; poses awkward questions to politicians, rulers, suitors, to a white world that still turns its back. Grace Nichols writes in a language that is wonderfully vivid yet economical of the pleasures and sadnesses of memory, of loving, of 'the power to be what I am, a woman, charting my own futures'.
