註釋

Powers of Obliteration is an exploration of the relationship between a single mother and daughter, an investigation into how the mind protects itself from accessing traumatic memory, and a discovery of how people turn cruel, set against the backdrop of a Caribbean island stinking with masculinity gone sour. In these poems, generations of women endure the violences inflicted upon them by the men they love, while attempting to shield their daughters from similar fates; contend with the way geographic and cultura ldisplacement affects their attitudes towards needing; and ask themselves whether love makes them complicit in the transformation of their partners to tyrants. The poet protagonist must decide, in the end, how to exist amidst the echoes of suffering around her -- whether the right way is to stay cool and closed to emotion, or to, finally, accept the feminine as a form of power.!
