In the poem by Grace Nichols ‘Of course when they ask for poems about the ‘Realities’ of black women’‚ this poem contains certain splits which reflect upon her experience as an immigrant moving from the Caribbean to the United Kingdom and how she collaborates her two worlds together‚ by using both Creole‚ the language from her homeland and Standard English.
