Her poems reference the language and structural patterns of the genres of fantasy or speculative fiction, though with her own distinctive features, including the presence of such folkloric Trinidadian figures as the Duenne, those wandering lost spirits whose feet point backwards. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn these poems, a woman is invariably the protagonist and Ramlochan is eloquent in her exploration of the ways in which gender has to be negotiated. They constantly challenge the stereotypes of the female. The female force that Ramlochan explores in her poems is creative and destructive, vulnerable and untameable. In poem after poem, the female assumes the elemental roles of both saviour and devil. \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShivanee Ramlochan\u003c\/b\u003e's poetry has been published in \u003ci\u003etongues of the ocean\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e The Caribbean Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e, and is forthcoming in \u003ci\u003eSmall Axe: A Caribbean Journal of Criticism\u003c\/i\u003e.
