LIT With Safiya Sinclair

Safiya Sinclair on Growing up Rastafarian, Tourism in Jamaica and Poetry as an Impolite Body

“The tepid / American I sank with my old shoes over the jaws of the Atlantic / could never understand the hard clamor of my laugh…” Safiya Sinclair reads from her debut collection, Cannibal (University of Nebraska Press, 2016), and speaks about poetry as the “language of an impolite body” in this episode of LIT hosted by Yahdon Israel.
