Böcker av Opal Palmer Adisa

Each piece in this dynamic poetic biography uses the voices of iconic figures past and present in a bold exploration of such hot topics as gender, race, and spirituality. The mode of presentation continually shifts--from dramatic monologue or prose poem, to prophetic rant--to provide fresh, moving viewpoints on subjects as various as the senility of a beloved grandmother and Michael Jackson's racial transformations.

This is a journey into and through womanhood-from preadolescence through menopause-and an exploration of women's relations with one another. In 4-Headed Woman, Adisa bravely explores and uncovers taboos about womanhood in a controlled and at times lyrical style laced with humour.
