Paperback. Condition: New. Following her very well-received Fauna, Jacqueline Bishop's Snapshots from Istanbul is another leap forward in terms of developing an assured signature voice and extending the range of her subject matter. At one level, the collection has the intimacy of the confessional - recorded with self-reflexive frankness and good humour - but this is grounded within the structure of other narratives and voices that create a counterpoint of dialogue in which the lyric 'I' is only one point of reference. Framing the collection are poems that explore the lives of the exiled Roman poet Ovid, and the journeying painter Gaugin. Between their differing reasons for departure and between the invented Ovid's changing perceptions of what exile means, Bishop locates her own explorations of where home might be. Like Gaugin, Bishop is driven by the need to discover one's necessity and do it; but as a woman she also has room to wonder about those abandoned by such quests.At the heart of the collection is a sequence of powerfully sensuous poems about a doomed relationship in Istanbul, touching in its honesty and, as in the best poems about other places, vivid in its portrayal of the otherness, highly conscious of the layers of difference, and aware that the poems' true subject is the uprooted self. Here, inevitably, Bishop is forced to think about her Americanness and her Jamaicanness in different ways.There is one constant: the drive to rearrange words, which is both about and is the act of the rearranging of self.Jacqueline Bishop was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. She now lives and works in New York City . the 15th parish of Jamaica. The River's Song is her first novel. …

Paperback. Condition: New. 'The Keeper of All The Secrets': Ceramic Art, Botanicals and the Caribbean Market Woman centres around a new work in ceramic by contemporary artist and writer Jacqueline Bishop. Featuring original essays, poetry by Bishop and an extensive interview with the artist, the book considers the role and significance of the market woman, who enabled others living under colonialism to take control of their reproductive agency. With The Keeper of All The Secrets, the artist subverts the traditions of commemoration associated with the medium, using it instead to probe the legacies of colonial plantation systems and the Transatlantic Trade in Enslaved Africans, and to celebrate the knowledge and resistance of a female figure who has, until now, been critically overlooked. This book is part of the Royal Museums Greenwich Spotlight series, accessible introductions to some of the most intriguing objects in the collection.…
