Breathing Space

Breathing Space is a leap into words from a Caribbean woman’s perspective. It plays within and outside the wave patterns of verse and dances with prose and poetry to topics that span feminine and personal evolution as well as love in varying shades and textures, all influenced by her experience of growing up Jamaican. At the heart of this collection is a reflection on the impact of relationships on one’s journey. The poems illustrate Sabrena McDonald Radcliffe’s signature as a dub poet and dialogue writer and present her as being comfortable telling stories on both pages. It is an invitation to pause, breathe and release a smile, sigh, cry or laugh. With a foreword by Owen Blakka Ellis, renowned Caribbean writer, comedian, actor and educator, this collection is tropical flavours of global themes that connect us all.
