Author Information

Keisha Taylor began writing poetry as a child growing up in Trinidad and Tobago, and fell in love with its rhythm and rhyme from the very beginning. Writing has remained a constant thread throughout her life, evolving as she has. Az a mother now living in Europe, poetry is a way to also reflect, question, and understand this new chapter. The poems in this collection were shaped over transformative years of motherhood, which were filled with wonder, bliss, chaos, rediscovery and rememberance. Today, Keisha is an interdisciplinary researcher whose work explores the connections between seemingly unconnected ideas. She draws inspiration and knowledge from ancient and Indigenous African ways of knowing, science and technologies that reference our deep interconnectedness with each other, our earth, and our universe. Through poetry, she reconnects with the child within and reaches toward self-realisation and infinite potential.
