Turner 8 Jan 2003

By Mark Troy

Format:Paperback

This is a wonderfully brave, visionary poem. Rather then bewailing his unspeakable fate, the narrative voice (a jettisoned slave; a birthing mother; her still-born child) seeks a self through the smooth space of the sea, creatively reminiscing towards a new identity.
I use this poem in the classroom to show the constructive force a post-colonial, post-modern poem can have; each reading moves me - and the class.
