Celia A Sorhaindo's Radical Normalisation writes back from the margins, bringing readers to her Dominican home. This engrossing debut adjusts perspectives on universal questions about poetry as a resource and value in the present. Sorhaindo's wit and linguistic inventiveness shine in her reflections on art, her dramatization of Jean Rhys's voice, and her reckoning with the natural world.

These poems respond to the destruction visited on Dominica, most recently by Hurricane Maria, recording its changes and exploring themes of identity, memory, and social commentary. This collection is for readers of contemporary poetry, those interested in Caribbean literature, and individuals seeking reflections on identity, trauma, and resilience.
