Review
"Malika's Kitchen is a literary movement whose impact on British poetry will be felt for a long time to come. These are writers committed to their craft, committed to expanding notions of Britishness through an engagement with the realities of British society and with the many strands that have come to shape it." --Kwame Dawes

Product Description
A Storm Between Fingers is an anthology showcasing members of the international writers group Malika's Kitchen. The collection reflects the expansive multi-cultural make up of Malika's Kitchen, with poem rendered in variations of English that go far beyond the standard - this is poetry awash with the cadences of multilingual exposure: avery r. young evokes the language of blues when he states 'lemon juice man marry peach cobbler woman'; Dorothea Smartt channels urban London - 'Inside Old Street Station./I meet my Waterloo./Aubergine afro's primed'; Sundra Lawrence is knee-deep in Sri Lanka, 'shouting Singhalese arpeggios/ with breathless punctuation'; while Christina Santana recalls a Puerto Rican uncle self-destructing - 'Bet a pack of cigarettes/ he couldn't crack/ the old jibaro's window/ three houses down.' It is no surprise that Handmade Fire, the chapbook that precedes this collection sold 300 copies in the first week of its release - impressive in any genre, but outstanding for poetry.
