Question
A poem titled for this thing includes four lines structured as multiple-choice questions, such as “A tapering, blunt-tipped, muscular, soft and fleshy organ describes…” That “discourse on the logic” of this thing is by M. NourbeSe Phillip. In a Paris Review interview, a poet called one of these things “nobody’s special property,” but instead “property of the imagination.” An essay that coined a term for one type of this thing quotes a child’s line “the snow was falling on the cane fields” in the book (*) History of the Voice. The speaker claims, “To change [this thing] you must change your life” in the poem “Codicil.” Non-standard varieties of these things used in the Caribbean were dubbed “nation” examples by Kamau Brathwaite. The speaker asks how to choose between Africa and one of these things he loves in Derek Walcott’s “A Far Cry from Africa.” For 10 points, what constructs include “mother” examples such as Jamaican patois and Gikuyu? ■END■
