Ground Provisions (Peepal Tree Press), the debut book of poems by Jamaica-born, US-based Shauna Morgan, uses a deep engagement with the natural world to grapple with the making and remaking of uprooted and transplanted selves. These poems “interrogate power, follow the desire for freedom, explore the necessity of ancestral memory, and answer the crucial need to touch the earth and each other,” through changing landscapes and unfolding memories. Questions about legacy — individual and collective — and what can and cannot be shared across generations, are at the heart of Morgan’s poetic journey.
