Shortlisted by Penguin Random House, this collection of autobiographical poems on identity moves structurally from London to Jamaica, tracing the writer’s search for belonging and grappling with cultural eclecticism.
The work also includes Jessica’s Aesthetica award shortlisted piece ‘reclamation’ which celebrates the diaspora as a space where new identities are forged and creativity emerges.
