Grace Nichols Universal and Diverse
Original language description
The work of Grace Nichols has been shaped by the signifying diasporic experience of resettling from British Guyana to the United Kingdom. Although she was much celebrated for her collections I Is a Long Memoried Woman and The Fat Black Womanˈs Poems, her imagery of the Caribbean has been broadened, as is evident from her more recent collections Sunris (1996), Paint Me a Poem (2004), Startling the Flying Fish (2006), and Picasso, I Want My Face Back (2009). Although she still cherishes the local Caribbean landscape as a formative element for creating and moulding her poetic imagination, she also looks to British Romantic and modern literary traditions and styles. As the poet searches for her ancestral roots, she discovers local myths that are foreign to European readers. Yet, on the basis of these, Nichols creates and recreates a new referential frame for her European-Caribbean poetry. The musicality and visuality of her poetry also enriches the canon of contemporary British poetry through linguistically interweaving standard English with Caribbean patois.
