Cane / Fire (Book*hug Press) is a new collection of poems by Shani Mootoo, the Canada-based Trinidadian writer and artist best known for her fiction. Accompanied by the author’s own artworks, this sequence of poems is described as akin to a memoir, ranging from Ireland to South Trinidad to Canada, vividly delving into personal and family history, and showing “how a life can not only be shaped, but even reimagined.”
