The poems cover themes such as poverty, absent parents, romantic relationships, and the challenges of everyday life. Corthésy's use of language and literary techniques creates vivid imagery, and her manipulation of voice and perspective adds depth to the collection. The poems are relatable to Jamaican readers while also resonating on a universal level. Additionally, the collection challenges traditional gender stereotypes with a strong and critical tone, expressing contempt for men who reinforce sexist stereotypes. Overall, "White Rum and Coconut Water" is a well-written and thought-provoking contribution to Jamaican and Caribbean poetry. pubtype: Review doctype: Book Review src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Caribbean Quarterly is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
