Seasoned by Edson Burton

A collection of poems which document a personal and collective journey through the historical and contemporary African Diaspora experience. It examines multiple forms of alienation – gender, race, self – told through a new experiment in dramatized poetry performance.Seasoning was a process which lasted between one and three years and involved slaves being ‘familiarised’ with plantation routines and discipline and taught to use tools that they may not have used before.

 "Burton brings experience to life in lines which sear an individual’s struggles and passions on the imagination." Helen Dunmore
