Description
"Connecting Medium links the past to the present, the Caribbean to England, mothers to fathers. Here are poems about identity and culture, generations and the future. A powerful sequence of poems about a black Medusa. Poems that link the material world to the spiritual one. Poems that recreate a sixties childhood in South London in vivid detail. Connecting Medium is full of energy and life. Hers is a bright, passionate voice."
Jackie Kay
Dorothea Smartt, born and raised in London, is of Barbadian heritage. Described as 'accessible and dynamic', her poetry appears in several journals and ground-breaking anthologies.

From her years on the performance circuit, Dorothea Smartt has learnt how to seize the reader's attention, hold it and take it to a place where deeper thoughts begin. One of the most daring and exciting figures to emerge from London's poetry scene in recent years, Dorothea has constantly experimented with both the form and content of her work, tackling the themes of identity, alienation and self-fulfillment with refreshing boldness. In short, one to watch!
