  • Pamela Mordecai
    Pamela Mordecai And I don’t know how it is for other writers, but when I write, regardless of what I’m writ- ing, or how I approach the writing task, I’ve got this image or shape or feeling inside me somewhere, a sort of embroidery pattern, a sort of magic-pencil outline, a sort of distant melody, that knows how what I’m writing “should look, that senses its right shape and sound, somehow. And I know that I have to have faith in this weird process, and that it’s best not to mind other people too much. Take their advice, yes, but not mind them too much. — Pamela Mordecai Quick Facts * Born in 1942 Biography * Jamaican-born poet, novelist, and children’s Tropical weather, crashing waves on an island shore, and sun-filled days ” book writer; surrounded Pamela Mordecai throughout her childhood. But the plethora of lushness and beauty were not the original inspiration for this Jamai- currently lives in can-born author. It was instead the devastating violence of Hurricane Canada Charlie, hitting the island in 1951, which brought about Mordecai’s first * Writes in poem at the young age of nine. This first piece of writing blossomed into patois many others, stretching across multiple genres including poetry, short stories, textbooks, and children’s books. A quote from Mordecai seems to sum this up: “I guess I’ve multiple personalities, and they all need to speak.” The one thing that weaves through all her styles of writing, This page was researched and though, is her tie to her Caribbean home.

  • Caribbean Poems
    Caribbean Poems Martin Carter 1. Death of a Comrade (1950s) Death must not find us thinking that we die too soon, too soon our banner draped for you I would prefer the banner in the wind Not bound so tightly in a scarlet fold not sodden, sodden with your people's tears but flashing on the pole we bear aloft down and beyond this dark, dark lane of rags. Now, from the mourning vanguard moving on dear Comrade, I salute you and I say Death will not find us thinking that we die. http://silvertorch.com/c-poetry.html 2. I Clench My Fist (1953) You come in warships terrible with death I know your hands are red with Korean blood I know your finger trembles on a trigger And yet I curse you – Stranger khaki clad. British soldier, man in khaki careful how you walk My dead ancestor Accabreh is groaning in his grave At night he wakes and watches with fire in his eyes Because you march upon his breast and stamp upon his heart. Although you come in thousands from the sea Although you walk like locusts in the street Although you point your gun straight at my heart I clench my fist above my head; I sing my song of Freedom! http://silvertorch.com/c-poetry.html 3. Do Not Stare at Me Do not stare at me from your window, lady do not stare and wonder where I came from Born in this city was I, lady, hearing the beetles at six o'clock and the noisy cocks in the morning when your hands rumple the bed sheet and night is locked up the wardrobe.

  • Salt Fish and Ackee: an Interview with Pamela Mordecai
    Postcolonial Text, Vol 6, No 1 (2011) Salt Fish and Ackee: An Interview with Pamela Mordecai Stephanie McKenzie and Shoshannah Ganz Memorial University (Grenfell Campus) Biographical Introduction Multi-talented and prize-winning author Pamela Mordecai, the focus of the following interview and scholarship, was born and raised in Jamaica and now lives in Toronto with her husband, Martin. Kamau Brathwaite1 has said that Jamaican-Canadian author Mordecai is “one of the most brilliant and witty of our poets.” Mordecai, who also holds a PhD in English, has written articles on Caribbean literature and has edited and co- edited groundbreaking anthologies of Jamaican poetry and Caribbean women’s writing, among them Jamaica Woman, (1980, 1985,with Mervyn Morris); From Our Yard: Jamaican Poetry since Independence (1987); and Her True-True Name (1989,with Betty Wilson). Mordecai has also published textbooks, children’s books, four collections of poetry (Journey Poem, 1989; de Man: a performance poem, 1995; Certifiable, 2001; The True Blue of Islands, 2005), a collection of short fiction (Pink Icing, 2006) and a reference work (Culture and Customs of Jamaica, 2001, with her husband, Martin). Her play, El Numero Uno, had its world premiere at the Lorraine Kimsa Theatre for Young People in February 2010. This interview focuses particularly on Mordecai’s de Man: a performance poem, a re-telling in Jamaican Creole of the crucifixion of Christ. Readers and listeners receive this well-known story through the eyes and voices of Samuel, a disabled carpenter, and Naomi, servant to Pilate’s wife. Telling the story of Jesus’s crucifixion in Creole and from the perspective of the disenfranchised, or “lower class,” Mordecai reminds one that the story of Jesus does not belong to any particular group or language and that it can be repeatedly told.

Few modern Jamaicans can trace ancestral connections to the peoples who inhabited the island before the arrival of Columbus in 1494, and few can identify foreparents in the period of Spanish rule that lasted to 1655. Similarly, although the new peoples who have come to Jamaica over the last 200 years, — mostly Indians and Chinese— had a significant cultural impact, their numbers have been relatively modest.

  • On Pamela Mordecai's “Passion Plays”: a Plea for Their Performance
    On Pamela Mordecai’s “Passion Plays”: A Plea for Their Performance George Elliott Clarke Prayerful Opening eloved Reader, herein I take up two works by Afro- Jamaican Canadian author Pamela Mordecai, De Man: A Performance Poem (1995) and De Book of Mary: A Performance BPoem (2015), treating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in the first instance and his1 life and death and the bio of “Mother Mary” (I quote from “Let It Be” by the Beatles) in the next. I wish to share my readings of these dramatic poems — these Afro-Caribbean Catholic interventions in Greek-letter, Gospel narratives (the so-called New Testament) and Afro-feminist retellings of the seminal (I pun), more-or-less masculinist, Occidental Christian2 texts — to encourage, actually, their mounting as plays. I state forthrightly that I wish to share my readings of these dramatic poems with you because this interest represents a return to my own roots as a scholar and poet/writer. Indeed, I confess that I am a child — somewhat errant or prodigal — of Africadia, or African Nova Scotia, off the Black North Atlantic grid (if you will). I grew up within the precincts of the African United Baptist Association of Nova Scotia, a Black Baptist Church group founded by ex-Virginia slave Richard Preston in 1854 — two genera- tions before African Americans established the US National Baptist Convention in 1895. Those are my African diasporic roots. I’m not a Baptist — not a baptized Christian — but I’ve been a fellow traveller in the Faith one hundred percent because it’s my heritage as an African Nova Scotian, as an Africadian, and as an Afro-Métis (a member of the Eastern Woodland Métis Nation Nova Scotia).

I used to explain that I don’t think of myself in this way, as one who served an apprenticeship to particular practitioners of the craft, and therefore properly owes them a debt.
