(f ) Bl ack ana Avenge t e

This poem i wri ten in conf sing I ngu e to an

or +nn r y mi.nd . Th e is an obv iou c. 'vn ant us

of the poetic language or 1 icence bu an imag ry

emerges. The imagery that is conveyed is somehow

three-dim nsional, as th rtistic lingo go s or

three pronged depending in which c a t e o r y on s sent.I>

ments fall. I shall attempt to deal with one

dim n ion of the imagery po r t ayed riefly.

On th final analysis Black ana emerge as the o ice

of the p ople t l t h s merged rom th ashes or at

the de thbed of its elders. A pregnant wom n is

about to ive birth, she gets killed butthe child

1ives on. Black ana may be analogous to the

emancipatory movements that emerge out of an ap th tic

society where +he oppressed penpl ~ had gone to an

extent of accepting the Status Quo.

The bl th of Black ana m Y seen as the awakening

of theoppressed people reasserting themselves on the

society but without root of their origin. 1t . s in

the q"p~t for basic humanity and their roots that the
