What is the author's style in No Telephone to Heaven by Michelle Cliff?

Language is one of the most interesting aspects of the book for two main reasons. First, as discussed in "Point of View" above, there is a very strong poetic sensibility in the writing, an intensity of image that moves the reader into unexpected interpretations and understandings of events, situations, and character. This is most vividly evident in Chapter 7, "Magnanimous Warrior" which is, in many ways, a prose poem, an almost stream of consciousness succession of intense imagery that explores the seemingly almost limitless aspects of (Jamaican? archetypal?) womanhood.
