Equinox | An(Other) World Book Club

$22.00

Equinox is an unforgettable and never-before-published masterwork completed by Kamau Brathwaite before his death in 2020. Written in his unique Sycorax typeface and replete with compelling images and photographs, Equinox contains poems written in Brathwaite's singular Barbadian vernacular and visionary style--poems about the Middle Passage, the natural world, Billie Holiday, Whitney Houston, the Kumina dance in Jamaica, Nelson and Winnie Mandela, the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, and Breughel's painting "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus," among many tidalectic topics. The lyrical poems in Equinox weave together history and culture with the imagery of Brathwaite's native Barbados, weaving a lush tapestry of injustice, redemption, and hope.

An(Other) World Book Club in partnership with Masterworks

Long Story Short created reading lists to complement ‘(An)other World’, an exhibit at Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art that ‘positions the island and its artists not as passive subjects but as active contributors of cultural authorship, innovation and historical momentum.’  

The books in the adult reading list have been selected to be in dialogue with the exhibit and, explore themes of (neo)colonialism, identity, migration, and access. Over the 6 month exhibition period, readers will be invited to three discussions, each one featuring fiction and non-fiction.
