“Island Man”: A Review of Grace Nichols’ Poem
Grace’s “island” seems to be a metaphor for man.
Island Man
Starting with the first stanza we already notice that Grace Nichols has written this poem in a different structure to other poems. Some sentences are long and some short with only one word in at the start. She talks about an island man waking up on his island we know he is dreaming because she says “island man wakes up to the sound of blue surf in his head”.
In the second stanza she talks more about the island, what is happening there and what it looks like. She talks of the people and animals that live there “wild seabirds and fishermen pushing out to sea”. She then says “the sun surfacing defiantly from the east of his small emerald island he always comes back groggily groggily”. This means that wherever you are and whatever the situation is the sun will always come up and go down therefore, he will always remember his island wherever he is. She says he always comes back, meaning he will never stay in his dream about the island.
The next stanza says “comes back to sands of a grey metallic soar to surge of wheels to dull North Circular roar. She is saying he always comes back from his dream to reality, sadly and not wanting to. Also this is the only part of rhyme in the poem “soar and roar”.
In the next stanza Nichols says “muffling muffling his crumpled pillow waves island man heaves himself” she is saying that he is just on the edge of awaking and the creases on his pillow where he has been sleeping are like waves to him.
Lastly she says “Another London day” this is giving the impression that island man does not enjoy living in London and wants to be at his home in the Caribbean, also there is no punctuation throughout the whole poem, I think that she does this because he will always be in London and the routine that he has dreaming about his island by night and working in a busy City by day will never end so there is no full stops because they mean the end of a sentence.
Liked it

I have to compare it to Grace Nichols’ Hurricane Hits England.
It’s kinda boring… :/

xoxooxoxox
you must be taking the piss.
whoever said this poem is hard to understand it’s incredibly obvious, however deep you seem to think it might be and whatever other levels you might find.
not a very good poem, they only have these other cultures poems to be PC, and to be completely non-racist or stereotypical, honestly the best poems are by far the armitage and heaney ones, along with some of the pre 1914s.
Vultures is pretty good though.
“gd gal at heart”
seems to know what’s going on here.
hahahaha
wankers
This poem is well sex, like
hate this whole section, its borin. teachers makin us make somethin out of nothin. i mean the poet writes about whatever the hell he wants to write about, then theres us havin to make different ‘interpretations’…what the hell for? JUST LET THE POEM BE!!
i do like this poem has a really kewl structure lyk da waves in da sea.. even the repitition of da rhyming is lyk the waves of the sea (unpredictable) lol iv read what u lot been saying bout the poems (bad comments) lol i have to admit i felt the same about the poems (some of them i still do) but da deeper meanings (its hard to fynd sometymz) makes u like da poems, well GCSE english paper 2 coming up soon! i hope this poem coems up, got a hunch it will…bye! x-x-x

selammm people yarabi sukur doyduysam yuzume tukur
i fhink this poem iz very gud and educative
you should learn about tis
gud luk
dis peom is wicked man
soz i meant poem lmao
The poem is interesting… Firstly the stansas are set out in quite a perculiar way… Next the vocabulary is stange due to the made up word… I like it overall because it shows great contrast between the calmness of an island and the hustle and bustle of the city.

Really kool poem
Haha I hate homework =(
yhyh this poem is alot still
Salam..ramadan kareem to all! da poem is really interseting once you get to understand the real meanings of it! hope dis one cums up in da exam inshallah
ok
this poem was so good it made my willy dribble
mine too
cxfvvafdhsanbgfjmn n jhghhcfjkku
I think the poem has a lot of deeper levels and feelings
It’s really not that special, it was written by a grown man as well, he should be able to write something as good as that.
to be quite honest this poem kind of bores me, it’s too simple, the symbolism and choice of language is obvious.
:/

this poem is unbelieveble and really touches my heart, grace nichols must have spent time on this piece its thorugh tireless hard work pieces of poetry like this pay off, the structure of the poem is delighful and the onamatopeic effect of groggily groggly and muffling muffling makes the hairs on tha back of my neck stand up. Grace nicholls wherever you are, please meet me in a roadside motel so we can make sweet love to the sound of mozart like in room 3. I would well and truly muffle you grace!!!

It’s worrying that you are all going to have to take an English exam…
Good luck, you’ll need it.
if handsome were a crime i would be guilty!!”
I Dont No What To Put
Hmmmm, its weird that their are so many irrelevant comments on this poem.
I didn’t really enjoy reading it, however, I found that the Blessing was quite eye opening, and I found it quite interesting to read.
I think I feel that I have to open the eyes of England.
So this means that I am hosting extra revision practice for all those who think their gunna get a “dirty” mark.
Up for it? Open for all sexes.
Bring extra material and toys with you for a total swing!
