Picasso, I Want My Face Back
Original language description
Similarly to her previous volumes, such as i is a long-memoried woman (1983), or The Fat Black Woman’s Poems (1984), Grace Nichols in her 2009 Picasso, I Want My Face Back focuses on ethnic elements contextualising them within British Caribbean diasporic and feminist literature. In all four sections, Nichols shifts her focus from speakers that are firmly embedded in the Caribbean culture to speakers coming from different ethnic backgrounds and, therefore, she significantly decreases the use of Caribbean patois. However, Nichols still thematizes British Guyana, the land of her childhood, to show that Britain remains a hostile diasporic place, whereas the Caribbean always provides consolation in times of sorrow. Welsh emphasizes that in Picasso Nichols "explore[s] the legacies of pain, separation and loss . . . [and the] experience of being a black woman in Britain" (13).
