Yrsa Daley-Ward

    Yrsa Daley-Ward est une écrivaine et poétesse d'héritage mixte des Antilles et d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Son œuvre, façonnée par une éducation dans un environnement pieusement religieux du nord de l'Angleterre, explore les thèmes de l'identité et de l'héritage avec une honnêteté sans faille. Par des images puissantes et brutes et un langage incisif, Daley-Ward révèle les complexités de l'expérience humaine. Sa poésie et sa prose résonnent d'une urgence et d'une vulnérabilité qui lui ont valu un lectorat dévoué.
