Synopsis
Taking us on a sensory journey across landscapes of the body and the earth, Ground Provisions traverses the natural world, moving from the Caribbean to North America, as it immerses readers in lush language and imagery that provoke questions about identity in the making of diasporas and the creation of multi-ethnic realities. What remains and what is created anew? What emerges at the fissures of culture? What is learned from human relationships with the natural world?
These poems want to interrogate power, the desire for freedom, the necessity of ancestral memory, and the need to touch the earth and each other. Walking us through a backabush Jamaican community to a hostile US environment, the collection explores family origins and Afro-Indo cultural syncretism.
Sonnets and sestina meet contemporary poetic forms poems such as the haibun, duplex, and ghazal to offer intimate views of the speakers and bring us into their interior lives. We witness grief overcoming the mind and body, children holding painful secrets, women leaning into sensuality, and families coming to terms with fracture and reconciliation.
Concerned with identity and personhood, the poems examine intertwined familial and historical inheritances and asks us to imagine the liberatory possibilities of establishing new roots with legacy seeds.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In her debut collection, Ground Provisions, Shauna M. Morgan takes us on a sensory journey across landscapes of the body and the earth. Shortlisted in the poetry category of the 2026 OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature, the collection traverses the natural world from the Caribbean to North America and provokes questions about identity in the making of diasporas and the formation of multi-ethnic realities. What remains and what is created anew? Who emerges at the fissures of culture? What is learned from human relationships with the land? How do we make provisions between generations?These poems guide us through a backabush Jamaican community to an often-hostile US environment as they interrogate power, follow the desire for freedom, explore the necessity of ancestral memory, and answer the crucial need to touch the earth and each other.Sonnet and sestina walk alongside poetic forms such as haibun and duplex to explore family origins and Afro-Indo cultural syncretism while offering intimate views of the speakers and their interior lives. We witness grief overwhelming the mind and body, children holding painful secrets, women leaning into sensuality, and families coming to terms with fracture and reconciliation.Through intertwined familial and historical inheritances, these poems ask us to imagine the liberatory possibilities of establishing new roots with legacy seeds. These poems grapple with ideas of heritage and inheritance: what we are given, what is taken away or lost, how we sustain life, and how we make provisions between generationsespecially of women. Concerned with landscapes of the human body and the earth, the poems pull the reader into the experience of navigating the sensate world anew.

paperback. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
