Nicole-Rachelle Moore’s “Memories, Musings and Unfinished Conversations” draw us into the intimacies of a cancer recovering, surviving mother of sons, helped through the “Haven” of women and the “love warriors,” her sons. Iconic photographs illustrate this life.  She welcomes us into the relationships of ancestors and their spirits, through their stories and the story-teller-poet, she herself has become, caught between Trinidad -her ancestral home –  and London her birth home, her present home. Her consciousness is fed by the moment, the “Now” of Carnival, its history and mythology. As she says in one of her Haikus “Joy” inspired by “Women Who Run with the Wolves.”
