THE LIVING PHOTOGRPH BY JACKIE KAY
The Living Photograph
My small grandmother is tall there,
Straight back, white, broderie anglaise shirt,
Pleated skirt, flat shoes, grey bun,
a kind, old smile round her eyes.
Her big hand holds mine,
white hand in the black hand.
Her sharp blue eyes look her own death in the eye.
It was true, after all, that look.
My tall grandmother became small.Her back round and hunched.
Her soup forgot to boil.
She went to the awful place grandmothers go.
Somewhere unknown, unthinkable
But there she is still,
In the photo with me at three,
The crinkled smile is still living, breathing.
Vocabulary booster broderie anglaise decoration with sewing on
fine white clothpleated having a narrow fold in a
piece of cloth made by

ABOUT THE POET
!s you can see there, the poet"s name is #ackie $ay. She
was born on %ovember & '&(' in )dinburgh, Scotland to a
Scottish mother and a %igerian father. Her parents gave her
away for adoption to white Scottish parents *#ohn and Helen
$ay+ who brought her up in lasgow with great affection. The
grandmother in the poem above was her adoptive
grandmother who also loved her as much as her biological
parents. Thus, from an early age, #ackie $ay was often
baffled by her ethnic identity as she looked -coloured-
compared to her adoptive -white- grandmother and adoptive
parents. This poem, like many others by #ackie $ay, reflects
her generally happy, childhood, as well as her concerns about
her true "biracial" ethnic identity.

!"OP#
The poem is about the personas grandmother, who lives in her
granddaughters heart and memory through her photograph. In it, she
is still tall, standing straight, wearing a white blouse having )nglish
embroidery *a whitework needlework techni/ue incorporating
features of embroidery, cutwork and needle lace+, pleated skirt and flat
shoes. Her grey hair is tied into a bun. Her eyes look kind and smiling,
and one of her big hands held the personas dark one.
!s time passed, her grandmother shrank in si0e, becoming hunched,
and forgetting mundane things like boiling the soup. Soon, she became
absentminded, unfocused and senile, living in her own world.
But in the photo when the pet was three, she is still alive and
breathing, as active as she had been in her younger days.

everything is carried out properlywithout a flaw. 1e approach every
situation with a smile even as we offerencouragement to others and receivesupport in return. 1hen face with an
inevitable situation, we face theinevitability bravely.

LOVE. $EPE/T. A"- 'A%#L! $ELAT#O"H#P
The persona loves and respects her grandmother andremembers all her good /ualities, her kindness, her smilesand the fact that she had not discriminated her for beingblack. She also values her relationship with her family,especially her grandmother who did not discriminate her forbeing -black-.
-EATH
3eath is not a terrifying e4perience. her grandmother isnot afraid of dying as "her sharp blue eyes look her owndeath in the eye-. It is as if she understands that she isold but is unafraid and defys death. the phototgraphmush have been taken 5ust before she became senileand closer to death.
OL- A&E
The poet describes old age as the stage when onebecomes smaller in si0e, stooped with a round back, andforgetful. 2ften, senility is accompanied by dementia,where one does not know what is happening. In her
grandmother"s case, she lived in an imaginary world ofher own.

! tinge of racism seeps through in -white hand i n blank hand-. $ay"s fatherwas black and mother, white. !dopted by Scottish parents wo had takentheir children on antiapartheid protests and peace rallies, she must havebeen sub5ected to ridicule and discrimination in her childhood, thus thecomment on colour differences. here, she must have loved her grandmotherfor not discriminating her.

The persona is the poet herself. 2f mi4ed parentage, she had been
adopted by a white Scottish couple, thus the reference to 6black hand7.

The setting is her grandmothers or parents house, where the
photograph is kept.
TO"E A"- %OO-
The poem is reflective and thoughtful, sometimes bitter, reminiscing
about her childhood and her relationship with her grandmother. She
misses her and keeps her memory alive by looking at the photo.

1e should loveand appreciate
close familymembers while
they are stillalive.
$eeping a memento likea photograph helps tokeep memories alive.
1e must strivefor close family
