Her 'fat black woman' is brash; rejoices in herself; poses awkward questions to politicians, rulers, suitors, to a white world that still turns its back. Grace Nichols writes in a language that is wonderfully vivid yet economical of the pleasures and sadnesses of memory, of loving, of 'the power to be what I am, a woman, charting my own futures'. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eUnquestionably one of our most important living poets'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003ei-D magazine \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Not only rich music, an easy lyricism, but also grit, and earthy honesty, a willingness to be vulnerable and clean' \u003c\/b\u003eGwendolyn Brooks \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Beneath the folk rhythms and the lyrical simplicities, Nichols's poems preach disquiet'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eObserver \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Grace Nichols has wit, acidity, tenderness, any number of gifts at her disposal' \u003c\/b\u003eJeanette Winterson\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1950 in Guyana, where she grew up, Grace Nichols worked as a jounalist and reporter.
