Beskrivning
One of Canada's most distinguished poets, Dionne Brand explores and chronicles how history shapes human existence, in particular the lives of those ruptured and scattered by New World slaveries and modern crises. This republication of three early volumes presents a view of the trajectory of her poetic journey. Read retrospectively, the earlier work is haunting, a testament to a historical moment in which change seemed possible, even imminent, a belief nourished by the various social movements that galvanized a generation. Individually and as a whole, Brand's work charts a collective as well as a personal journey, delving into the burdens of history and the fugitive, contingent, dynamic, and mutable geographies of the African diaspora. She locates herself within matrices of language, place, gender, sexuality, and politics and maps what she calls the ""murmurous genealogy"" of her city, Toronto, and the denizen-citizenship of the contemporary global.

Recensioner i media

``The cantos, epigrams and chronicles from the early works of Dionne Brand compiled in the selected Chronicles--poems that are fresh and raw, furious and compassionate, fierce and tender, uniformly accomplished--speak with a voice that is as sure as it is inevitable, as confident as it is individual, as vulnerable as it is strong.'' -- Patricia Keeney -- ARC Poetry Magazine, Winter 2013, 201305
