Kamau Brathwaite's CONVERSATIONS WITH NATHANIEL MACKEY is based on the transcript of his 1993 public discussion with Nathaniel Mackey at Poet's House in New York City. Brathwaite expansively elabortes on Mackey's (and audience's) knowledgeable inquiries; his answers are layered with subsequent ruminations arising from his lifelong engagement with world literature and expressive cultures. A multiphasic drift, CONVERSATIONS WITH NATHANIEL MACKEY combines elements of biography and autobiography with poetic discourse on Caribbean literary history and negative effects of colonial domination. Brathwaite splices dialog with poetry, criticism, and instructive imaginary voices in his now distinct and characteristic "Sycorax 'video style'" format.
