Summary: In Adisa's poems there is a witty play between food and sexuality, but counterpointing her celebration of the erotic, there is a keen sense of the oppression of the female body. In her poem "Bumbu Clat", for instance, she explores the deformation of a word that originally signified "sisterhood" to become part of the most transgressive and misogynist curse in Jamaican society.
