'There is something holy about Georgetown at dusk. The Atlantic curling the shoreline . . .'The first adult novel from Grace Nichols, winner of the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry 2021. It is 1960 and the Walcotts are moving into the city from the village of Highdam. School headmaster Archie Walcott knows that he will miss the openness of pastureland; his wife, Clara, the women and their nourishing 'womantalk and roots magic; and Gem, their daughter, her loved jamoon and mango trees. Their move into the rough and tumble Charlestown neighbourhood couldn't have come at a worse time, for the serenity of the city is exploded by political upheavals in the country's struggle for independence. Undercover moves - CIA-backed and supported by Britain attempt to bring down the Marxist government. Along with the sweep of events - strikes, riots, and racial dashes - daily life in the Charlestown yard and beyond gathers its own intensity. Archie's friend, Conrad, seeing and knowing all, moves with ease among the opposing groups, monocle to his eye, white mice in his pockets; through one terrible night the neighbourhood tenses as the Ramsammy's rum shop is threatened with burning; and Archie, troubled by the times, tries to keep a tight rein on his family. Young Gem, ever-watchful, responds with wonderment and curiosity to the new life around her. In this, her first adult novel, Grace Nichols richly and imaginatively evokes a world that was part of her own Guyanese childhood.

Grace Nichols'' poetry has a gritty lyricism that addresses the transatlantic connections central to the Caribbean-British experience. Her work brings a mythic awareness and a sensuous musicality that is at the same time disquieting. Born and educated in Guyana, Grace Nichols moved to Britain in 1977. I Have Crossed an Ocean is a comprehensive selection spanning some 25 years of her writing.

Art, landscape and memory are interwoven strands in the fabric of Grace Nichols'' latest collection, Picasso, I Want My Face Back. The book opens with a long poem in the voice of Dora Maar, who, as Picasso''s muse and mistress, was the inspiration for his iconic painting, The Weeping Woman. The poem''s parts are almost interlocking reflections that echo the cubistic manner of the painting and allow us to enter the shifting surfaces of Dora Maar''s mind and her journey of self reclamation.

In The Insomnia Poems Grace Nichols explores those nocturnal hours when Sleep (the thief who nightly steals your brain) is hard to come by, and the politics of the day hard to shut out, never mind the lavender-scented pillow. Here memories of her own Guyana childhood mingle with the sleeping spectres of dreams and folk legends such as Sleeping Beauty. A lyrical interweaving of tones and textures invites the reader into the zones between sleep and no-sleep, between the solitude of the dark and the awakening of the light. The Insomnia Poems was Grace Nichols's first new collection since Picasso, I Want My Face Back (2009). Neither that collection nor this one is included in her Bloodaxe retrospective, I Have Crossed an Ocean (2010).

Her ninth collection of adult poems and her fourth book with Bloodaxe, Passport to Here and There makes a significant contribution both to Caribbean and to British poetry.Our Demerara voices rising and fallinggrowing more and more goldenlike a canefield's metamorphosisfrom shoots into sugar --the crystal memory shared with a river…Passport to Here and There is Grace Nichols's third new collection since her Bloodaxe retrospective, I Have Crossed an Ocean (2010), following Picasso, I Want My Face Back (2009) and The Insomnia Poems (2017).

The Tracks of My Name sees Grace Nichols embarking on a journey across the English countryside to the small town of Olney in Buckinghamshire. Olney was where the one-time English slave-trader (later abolitionist) John Newton lived and wrote his famous hymn, Amazing Grace which inspired her Guyanese Methodist parents to name her Grace Olney after both hymn and place. A narrative sequence that reads as a personal quest, The Tracks of My Name lyrically and imaginatively explores the relationship between memory and history, conscience and greed, a sense of place and love of landscape, through her own distinctive way of viewing the world. Even when confronting some of the more unsavoury aspects of Empire, she makes a space for redemption, continuing the interweave between her Guyanese/Caribbean and British heritages.The Tracks of My Name is Grace Nichols's fourth new collection with Bloodaxe since her retrospective, I Have Crossed an Ocean (2010), following Picasso, I Want My Face Back (2009), The Insomnia Poems (2017) and Passport to Here and There (2020). She was awarded the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry for 2021. Her poetry is studied in UK schools as part of the GCSE National Curriculum. The Tracks of My Name is the Poetry Book Society Choice for Winter 2026.
