Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Jean 'Binta' Breeze is a popular Jamaican Dub poet and storyteller whose performances are so powerful she has been called a 'one-woman festival'.

Beginning in the late 19th century with her great-great grandmother's first quadrille, Breeze tells a many-layered tale of love and betrayal, innocence and suffering, hardship and joy over a hundred years as each mother sees her daughter join a dance which shapes her life. "The Fifth Figure" is her fifth book, and sees Breeze breathing new life into the dramatic monologue. Steeped in the history of Jamaica, the book develops the possibilities of narrative, voice and rhythm, offering an eloquent and empowering vision of Caribbean lives and culture.

It is Breeze's first new collection since Third World Girl: Selected Poems (2011), and is published on her 60th birthday. 'The third world girl, at home for a while, sets these attractive poems in rural Jamaica. Her verandah looks out on the sea, and she goes for a swim most mornings. The collection takes us well beyond the village, the bar across the road, and the men who proposition her. The easy-going voice talks of personal development, celebrates friends and family, comments on mortality, freedom, gender and class. The poet is examining, subtly, a more or less contented return to where her life began.' - Mervyn Morris Poems of coming home, both a departure and a return for Breeze, who left her village in Jamaica to become an inter-nationally renowned Dub poet and storyteller. Published on her 60th birthday, launched with a UK reading tour. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: New. Jean 'Binta' Breeze was a popular Jamaican Dub poet and storyteller whose performances were so powerful she was called a 'one-woman festival'. Her poems are Caribbean songs of innocence and experience, of love and conflict. They use personal stories and historical narratives to explore social injustice and the psychological dimensions of black women's experience. Striking evocations of childhood in the hills of Jamaica give way to explorations of the perils and delights of growth and change - through sex, emigration, motherhood and age.Introduced by renowned critic Colin MacCabe, the book brings together new poems with poetry and reggae chants from four previous collections: Riddym Ravings, Spring Cleaning, On the Edge of an Island and The Arrival of Brighteye. Many of the poems were included in two performances by Jean 'Binta' Breeze filmed by Pamela Robertson-Pearce at Leicester's Y Theatre available by scanning QR codes printed in the book, along with an interview with Jane Dowson.

Soft cover. Condición: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First edition, a paperback original. Fine in wrappers. Part novel, part poem, latest book by the outstanding performance poet, based on the Jamaican quadrille. Review copy with review slip loosely inserted.
