In the introduction to her poetry published in A Caribbean Dozen, a collection of poetry for children, Dionne Brand illustrates both her biographical and literary background, pinpointing the essence of her desire to write: Being an Afro-Caribbean Canadian poet and writer, Dionne Brand is a particular kind of exiled woman who has made a strength out of her experience of multiple displacements. Of African descent, her cultural and linguistic history has been truncated by the forcible displacement of her ancestors from Africa to the New World. Her life in the Caribbean has been affected coined by the unavoidable impact of colonialism, namely the linguistic and cultural displacements which she often deals with in her poetry. In Canada, despite encountering racism and rejection, she has emerged as a multicultural and multifaceted poet and writer who has left a indelible imprint on the cultural mosaic of Canada.

Extractions: The buzz outside the theatre briskly pours inside, where the excitement is almost uncontainable. Some people have to be turned away. The reading, hosted by Toronto Women's Bookstore and Random House, is sold out. Stefanie Samuels' introduction is a praise-song to Brand, calling her a "powerfully gentle storyteller." Brand arrives at the podium, telling the audience she thought "no one would show for the reading." The laughter from the audience is filled with love. Brand then eloquently and poetically reads from At The Full And Change Of The Moon for about an hour and a half. The evening ends at 52 Inc where folks eat, drink and dance well into the night.

DeCandido Conde, Maryse. Windward Heights. Tr. by Richard Philcox. Aug. 1999. 352p. Soho; dist. by Farrar, $24 (1-56947-161-4). Set in the Caribbean amidst the societal and political turbulence at the turn of the nineteenth century, this fascinating story is a retelling, with some substantial reworking of plot and characters, of Emily Bronte's classic, Wuthering Heights . It is the steamy, sometimes sordid, recounting of the passionate love between Razye, the dark-skinned, dark-tempered foundling, and Cathy, the beautiful and high-spirited mulatto. As in Bronte's classic, the story unfolds through the narratives of various characters, allowing a many-faceted view of circumstances, characters, and events, and highlighting the intensity of the complex interrelated issues involving family, politics, race, religion, and class. Conde's portrayal of characters is universally somewhat unflattering. Razyeis mean, perverse, and obsessed. Cathy, spurning her passion for Razye, marries into Creole society and dies very young during the birth of her daughter. Her death only heightens Razye's obsession, however, and the drama is played out in future generations. Conde's rich prose, translated from French, does justice to the complexity of the story and makes this book difficult to put down.
