To Us, All Flowers Are Roses

Goodison's is an original voice in contemporary poetry, drawing on both African and European inheritances and reminding us that African heritages in the New World are not exclusively those of Americans, and that their Caribbean expression is a significantly different and relatively little known part of the African American experience. Her finely crafted poems often carry a sense of language's healing power in the face of the pain of the past.Goodison, Lorna is the author of 'To Us, All Flowers Are Roses', published 0012 under ISBN 9780252064593 and ISBN 0252064593.
