Lorna Goodison's first poetry collection to be published in Canada in over nine years, Mother Muse heralds the return of a major voice. The poems in Goodison's new book move boldly and range widely; here are praise songs alongside laments; autobiography shares pages with the collective past. In her exquisitely lyrical evocations of Jamaican lore and tradition, Goodison has always shown another side of history. While celebrating a wide cross-section of women-from Mahalia Jackson to Sandra Bland-Mother Muse focuses on two under-regarded mothers in Jamaican music: Sister Mary Ignatius, who nurtured many of Jamaica's most gifted musicians, and celebrated dancer Anita Margarita Mahfood. These important figures lead a collection of formidable scope and intelligence, one that seamlessly blends the personal and the political.
