Radical Normalisation (Carcanet Press), the first full-length book of poems by Dominican writer Celia Sorhaindo, ranges in its concerns from family life to mental health, from the aftereffects of natural disaster — specifically, Hurricane Maria, which devastated Dominica in 2017 — to the place of a writer in a literary tradition, and what poetry can and cannot do to help us navigate personal and collective crises. Inquisitive and restless on the page, Sorhaindo’s distinctively Caribbean voice connects the everyday with the timeless.
