What Noise Against the Cane is a lyric quest for belonging and freedom, weaving political resistance, Caribbean folklore, immigration and the realities of Black life in America. Desiree C. Bailey begins by reworking the epic in an oceanic narrative of bondage and liberation in the midst of the Haitian Revolution. The poems move into the contemporary Black diaspora, probing the mythologies of home, belief, nation and womanhood. Series judge Carl Phillips observes that Bailey's "poems argue for hope and faith equally. . . . These are powerful poems, indeed, and they make a persuasive argument for the transformative powers of steady defiance." Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Though the Caribbean focus in this book is Haiti, that is to pull on Haiti's history as the first black republic, born of a successful slave revolt. A beacon of the Caribbean.
She also considers her childhood in New York, where teachers assumed she did could not read English, and where so many worked to get rid of their accents (their island selves).
Across the bottom of the pages in this book, Bailey has included another poem--spoken in the voice of the sea, in a Trinidadian patois. I actually read this piece trough, and then went back to read the other poemns and re-read the sea's voice. ( )
