Reviews

Just a handful of poems actually address the earthquake itself—perfectly understandable, given its recentness at the time of the Harvard reading. Among them, 'Intersection' by Danielle Legros Georges, Tom Daley's 'After a Stroke, My Mother Addresses Children in a Photograph of a Sidewalk in Port-au-Prince,' and 'Earthquake' by Marilène Phipps-Kettlewell deserve a special mention, as the most innovative in their imagery and emotional thrust. In 'Earthquake,' we read of the collapse of bodies and buildings, and see vividly the destruction wrought in Port-au-Prince.[10]
Life in Haiti, before the recent earthquake but no less steeped in hardship and spiritual overcoming, is captured in interconnected stories by a gifted Haitian American. ... In sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes sharply ironic fashion, Phipps-Kettlewell writes of coping in a place where the lush surroundings are a constant reminder of how removed from paradise people are. ... But as sad as the stories can get, the author's empathy for her resilient subjects, and her grasp of the human comedy in depicting the creative ways downtrodden people keep hope alive, makes the book unexpectedly entertaining. Brilliantly evocative contemporary stories about Haiti ...[11]
In contrast, one can, and does, find pleasure in Marilene Phipps's first full-length collection of poems, Crossroads and Unholy Water. Not the light, transient pleasure of a novel only suitable for the beach, but pleasure of the soul-satisfying kind. The book invites deeper reading, rather than demanding it. ... Phipps book has the tried and true stuff of fine poetry—remarkable images, striking metaphors, big themes—without being stuffy. It covers the full range of the human drama—its glory, its misery, its humor and its pathos.[12]
... Marilene Phipps focuses on voodoo themes but she paints incongruously in heavy dabs of oily impasto. An example is the somewhat-photographic composition of a man in white clothes paying his respects to the corpse under a sheet before a shelf loaded with statuettes and vases of flowers. The drawing is sound and the colors juicy but the general effect is perilously close to calendar art.[13]
