Met oog voor de muren waartegen een auteur kan botsen (de eigen achtergrond en sekse, de correctheid bij historische fictie), vraagt ze zich af hoe vrij ze werkelijk is. Juist deze zoektocht loodst haar naar een ongekende vrijheid, want boven elke regel en obstakel overheerst ‘dat constante verlangen om uit je eigen huid en naar een andere werkelijkheid te ontsnappen.’ Elke situatie – tot een wachtrij aan een saaie supermarktkassa toe - kan een aanleiding vormen voor een mentale vlucht waarbij zelfs een onderwerpend keurslijf de vleugels van creativiteit niet kan kortwieken. a b Infantry, Ashante (3 February 1996).

Bennett wrote several books and poetry in Jamaican Patois, helping to have it recognized as a " nation language" in its own right. Her work influenced many other writers, including Mutabaruka, Linton Kwesi Johnson and Yasus Afari, to use it in a similar manner.

She is credited with giving Harry Belafonte the foundation for his 1956 hit " Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)" by telling him about the Jamaican folk song "Hill and Gully Rider" (the name also given as "Day Dah Light").

We often say that books are “about” something, but, strictly speaking, books simply are. They are not houses for ideas or gestures toward a point. Like a name, like a mind, they are experiences in their own right, and they remain opaque despite our attempts to sum them up—as one must in (for instance) a review. The home of IOTP is the Caribbean Military Academy (CMA) Newcastle, which is located at the Newcastle Hill Station, St Andrew, Jamaica.

The programme falls within the tactical level of the Professional Military Education (PME) framework of armed forces and is modelled from the Royal Military Academy Sandhursts’ (RMAS) Commissioning Course. It was designed with the direct support and guidance of RMAS Instructing and Support Staff. An invasion of artists from the Commonwealth arrives in England next month. They are coming here to take part in the first Commonwealth Arts Festival to be held from September 16 to October 2. Programmes are being staged in London, Cardiff, Liverpool and Glasgow, and rehearsals start in August. Part III Won't You Bring in the Birds is then much the longest and also the most striking. At its heart this is based on the narrator's recollection, and elaboration, on a story she wrote many years previously, and it is striking how in recounting it she pinpoints the timing by the novels she had read by that time:
