Home Is Where the Heart Is: Danticat's Landscapes of Return
This article explores the poetics of return in Edwidge Danticat's The Dew Breaker and her latest work, Brother, I'm Dying. Focusing on the roles of memory, imagination, borrowed recollections, and autobiography, the article illustrates how Danticat writes this return in her work, the landscape she creates, and the people in it. If home, as the article argues, has always been Haiti for this writer, the two selected works expose the ambiguous, enig…

Pine Hill
I dreamt of mornings like these when I used to feel like a fraudin a winter coat, freezing in some tunnel underneath Montreal, mornings like these in January, when the island light sharpened edges, unclouded colors, washed away muddy olive greens changing them to a fresh lime, as fresh as this New Year's breeze on my face
Killing Moons
Killing Moons Elizabeth Walcott-Hackshaw (bio) It was Easter Sunday, Mama’s birthday. The yard was still, so quiet you could hear the tide coming in. There was no sea breeze, not a cloud in the sky, only a bright, blue sea above my head. All my brothers and sisters were at the beach helping the fishermen pull in the nets. If the catch was big, the fishermen would reward us with slippery, silver Jacks. Nana, Mama’s sister, was sitting on our front…
The Ward
The Ward Elizabeth Walcott-Hackshaw (bio) We lived there, Michael and me. The others were our guests. They came, they left, they spent a night, a week, a month, but they always went home. A he, a she, a friend, a granny, a tanty—a somebody would always come for them. Even if the somebody never came on the exact day or at the exact time, somebody came. Sometimes they said that they would come at six on Monday, and they didn’t show their face until…
