These poems are haunted, figuratively and literally, by spirits of the African diaspora and drenched in the colors, sounds, and rhythms of the islands. But they also encompass the world of the exile and return, and the events of 9\/11 in New York City. Brathwaite is one of the foremost voices in postcolonial inquiry and expression, and his poetry is densely rooted and expansive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing his unusual \"sycorax\" signature typography and spelling, Brathwaite brings a cultural specificity, with distinct accents, sonic gestures, and pronunciations, into his pages--making them new, exciting, and rich in nuances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kamau Brathwaite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0819567469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819567468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wesleyan University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 6.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Kamau Brathwaite","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043433279743,"sku":"9780819567468","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2701769f-bfdb-46c1-a346-69368f2a0613.jpg?v=1684967124","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/born-to-slow-horses-kamau-brathwaite-9780819567468","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
