Her poems have appeared in Poetry, the Kenyon Review,¿Boston Review, Gulf Coast, the¿Gettysburg Review,¿Prairie Schooner, and elsewhere. Sinclair received her MFA in poetry from the University of Virginia and is a Dornsife Doctoral Fellow at the University of Southern California.¿ ¿ Zusammenfassung Colliding with and confronting The Tempest and postcolonial identity, the poems in Safiya Sinclair’s Cannibal explore Jamaican childhood and history, race relations in America, womanhood, otherness, and exile.
