Una Marson Selected Poems - Una Marson

Una Marson Is Widely Recognised As ''the Earliest Female Poet Of Significance To Emerge In West Indian Literature'', But Whilst Her Role As An Early Feminist And A ''first Woman'' Publisher, Broadcaster, Pan-africanist And Anti-racist Features On Many Web Pages, Her Poetry Has Received Less Considered Critical Attention.this May Be Because Her Work Is Very Diverse, Even Seemingly Contradictory. She Is A Jamaican Poet Who Pioneered The Articulation Of Gender And Racial Oppression, Brought Jamaican Vernacular Voices Alongside A Wordsworthian Passion For Nature, And Ventured To Give Subjectivity To The Powerless And Marginalised. Author Of Afro-blues That Draw On Both African-american And Jamaican Speech, And Of Folk Monologues, She Also Wrote Devotional Sonnets And Love Lyrics Within A Distinctly Un-modernist Tradition.
