Poetry. African American Studies. Caribbean Studies. Typeset in Brathwaite's trademark Sycorax video-print style, TRENCH TOWN ROCK is a harrowing account of violence in modern-day Jamaica. TRENCH TOWN ROCK, Kamau Brathwaite's long documentarian song, affords insistent 'nansic spin--a splay of clips, massed facts and faces, rare synaesthetic call and cry rolled into brash typographic distraint.--Nathaniel Mackey
