Pepper Seed by Malika Booker
Drawing on dramatic monologue, historical narratives, poetry of witness, and an integral intimate-domestic voice, this compilation portrays a visceral emotive patchwork of everyday dramas in the fabric of ordinary life. Written by a poet whose sense of rootedness shapes the dimensions of her work, it delves into a multiplicity of places, characters, locations, landscapes, and languages. From Grenada to the Heathrow airport, these poems are interconnected in a larger diasporic story.Malika Booker is a British writer of Guyanese and Grenadian parentage. Her poems are widely published in anthologies and journals including, Bittersweet: Contemporary Black Women's Poetry, Black & Asian Poets, Out of Bounds, and Ten New Poets. She has represented British writing internationally, both independently and with the British Council, and has written for the stage and radio. She was the first Poet in Residence at the Royal Shakespeare Company and is the author of Breadfruit.
