Perception’s Knife
Perception’s Knife, by Sheilah Solomon is a collection of poems by a Jamaican long resident in Trinidad, known for her civic activism. These gentle meditations on friendship, love, and memory suggest a thoughtful, broad-minded sensibility. Occasionally sentimental, their tone is more often wry; they have an eye for the world’s sharp peculiarities:
Our little sight is bounded by our genes . . .
So too with sound.
Whales sing too low
for us; dogs
hear too high.
Perception’s Knife, by Sheilah Solomon. Self-published, 62 pp.
