Opal Palmer Adisa (born 1954) is a Jamaica-born award-winning poet, novelist, performance artist and educator. Anthologised in more than 100 publications, she has been a regular performer of her work internationally. ==Early life==
She was raised ten miles outside Kingston, Jamaica, and attended school in the capital. In 1970 she went to study at Hunter College, New York, and in 1979 moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to pursue an MA in creative writing.〔Margaret Busby, "Opal Palmer Adisa", ''Daughters of Africa: An International Anthology of Words and Writings by Women of African Descent'' (192), London: Vintage, 1993, p. 873.〕 As noted by David Katz, "Adisa’s work has been greatly informed by her childhood experience of life on a sugar estate in the Jamaican countryside, where her father worked as a chemist and her mother as a bookkeeper. It was in this setting that young Opal was introduced not only to the art of storytelling, but also, after her parents divorced, to the ceaseless oppression faced by women and the ongoing injustices heaped on the poor. Such formative experiences, coupled with her mother’s efforts to improve the lives of those around her, gave Adisa the desire to “give voice to the voiceless” at an early age." 〔David Katz, ("Fruit of Passion" and "'I focused on the difficult'" (interview with Adisa) ), ''Caribbean Beat'', Issue 75, September/October 2005.〕
