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—\u003ci\u003eMother Muse\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vehicule Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53515854971223,"sku":"9781550655988","price":13.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/mother-muse-9781550655988","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
