Download or read book I is a Long Memoried Woman written by Grace Nichols and published by Lushena Books. This book was released on 1990 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1983 to gain the distinction of being the first book of poetry written by a Caribbean woman to have won the Commonwealth Poetry Prize, it has since become a modern classic. Rightly proclaimed a significant narrative of the African Caribbean woman in proclaiming the recovery of her memory, the book celebrates and evokes memories of the triangular trade in enslavement from the African continent to the cane plantations of the Caribbean through the voice of an unnamed African woman.
