In this article I explore constructions of diasporic space in the work of two Caribbean-diaspora poets, Jean 'Binta' Breeze, and Dorothea Smartt, and examine the ways in which circuits of departure, arrival, and return in selected poems, function as sites from which complex, interconnected identities are produced. The region is commonly defined as a space of migratory flows, which are both permanent and impermanent, and characterized by frequent returns 'home' (Trotz & Mullings, 2013, p. 154).
