Before We Were Free The author's first novel for young adults, set in the Dominican Republic and in New York. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2002. ANDERSON, Vernon F. Jamaica Sudden Glory Sudden Glory is a rich and absorbing novel in the finest tradition of Latin American writing. Set in Guatemala, it tells of a team of archaeologists who come to study Mayan ruins. Enveloped in the forest, they confront an unfamiliar, violent world, which cuts them off from civilization and brings them face to face with a terrible and profound crisis. With frightening inevitability the mask of the Totonacs, a psychologist's encounter with insanity, and Karen Farr's prescription of 'sudden glory' insidiously take over, and in the search for a kind of truth, their world begins to split apart.

A highly respected cultural personality, he has been at the forefront of many artistic initiatives and cultural events in Barbados.

Antiquity Antiquity has two sections: 'Words', which brings together poems written over the past twenty years, and 'Chants', which includes the songs AJA has been performing to enthusiastic audiences across the Caribbean, North America, Europe and South Africa. These are poems and songs of a radical Black consciousness, Barbadian to the core, but reaching out to chant down injustice and economic oppression wherever they exist.

BALDEOSINGH, Kevin Trinidad and Tobago The Autobiography of Paras P Paras P. is the most correct person in Trinidad & Tobago, shown by the popularity of his Centre of Correctness. This candid autobiography illustrates how Paras' whole life has been geared to being "proper," from early days learning the Queen's English to life as the most upright of politicians. Pity that Paras never noticed the laughter and ridicule permeating all the tapes he has of his doings... Full of wit and wisdom, The Autobiography of Paras P. is a tongue-in-cheek glimpse into the life of one man who honestly believes he is the last bastion of morality in Trinidad & Tobago.

BASCOM, Harold Guyana Apata In 1959, the year Queen Elizabeth of England visited the country, newspapers in British Guiana reported a manhunt taking place deep within the forest. Apata is an imaginative reconstruction of the life of the man at its center, a charismatic young Guianese whose hopes of a brilliant future are frustrated by the color of his skin. Despite his obvious abilities, he cannot complete his education, and is forced instead to take up ignominious work for Glenn, a white homosexual trader. Trapped by a system of prejudices, and deeply humiliated, Apata is pushed into a cycle of crime that leads to the life of a fugitive, and a grisly demise. Harold Bascom's Apata is the story of victims and outcasts everywhere, a gripping adventure that confronts a confusing and hurtful period when different cultures collided.

He graduated from England's Cambridge University with a B.A. in history in his early 20s, and received his Ph.D. from the University of Sussex in 1968. He lived and worked in Ghana from 1955 to 1962. From the "rooflessness" of his sojourn in Europe, Brathwaite found a rootedness in Africa that would sharpen his sense of "wholeness" and shape his awareness, making him what the Ghanaian poet Kofi Awoonor once called "a poet of the total African consciousness." The Arrivants: A New World Trilogy (1973) and the second trilogy, Mother Poem (1977), Sun Poem (1982) and X/Self (1987) are among Brathwaite's published works that surged his international standing. Brathwaite, the distinguished Caribbean poet, historian and literary critic, lives in Barbados at Cow Pastor, part of an estate that includes the sacred burial ground of his ancestors that were enslaved. He has taught at the University of the West Indies and lectured at New York University. Awards and honors for his poetry and non-fiction include the Guggenheim Fellowship, Fulbright Fellowship, Bussa Award, Casa de las Americas Prize for Literary Criticism, and the Neustadt International Prize for Literature.

Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 1996. BROWN, Stewart England (1951 - ) Stewart Brown was born in Southampton, U.K., in 1951. A frequent and much respected visitor to the Caribbean, much liked for his deep but modestly offered knowledge of the region and its literature, and his aimiable good humour, Stewart Brown's poetry never forgets that, however immersed it is in local sympathies, it remains the work of an Englishman abroad, an honesty which ensures that the work is never compromised by sentiment.

(Paperback) A Season in Rihata In Rihata, a small sleepy backwater town in a fictitious African state, a couple and their family struggle to come to terms with each other against a background of political maneuvring and upheaval. Marie-Helene, far from her native home in Guadeloupe, lives unhappily with her African husband, Zek. Their uneasy existence is further disturbed by the arrival of Zek's brother Madou, now Minister for Rural Development, on an official visit to Rihata. Murky events from the past resurface and send ripples through their

lives. This portrait of an African community torn between progress and tradition and subject to the whims of a dictatorship unfolds through a subtle web of personal relationships. A Season in Rihata is a novel of political power, exile, grief, and loneliness. Paris: Robert Laffont, 1981. London: Heinemann, 1988. Segu Paris: Robert Laffont, 1984. [New York] Viking [1987].

Mint Tea and Other Stories Unconventional love, social injustice, dangerous economics--these are the subject of Christine Craig's short stories. She tenderly evokes the women's experiences of Jamaica, criss-crossing between generations and places, disregarding conventions, and weaving new insights into a complex place and a complex people. Craig brings to this first collection a sharp, unsentimental eye, a flair for language, and a subtle sense of irony. Christine Craig now lives in the U.S. (Heinemann blurb) Oxford: Heinemann, 1993 DABYDEEN, Cyril Guyana / Canada (1945 - ) Cyril Dabydeen was born in the Canje, Guyana, in 1945. His father was a marginal cattle farmer, his mother a seamstress. He grew up with his grandmother and an extended family of aunt, nieces, nephews. He is a cousin of the writer David Dabydeen. In the early 1970s he left Guyana for Canada to obtain higher education. In his early years in Canada he worked in a variety of casual jobs, most importantly as a tree planter in the Canadian forests of the north, where he worked with Native Canadians. It was this experience which was part of the process of the drawing of imaginative connections between Guyana and Canada, both with large ‘unpeopled’ hinterlands and surviving native peoples.

DABYDEEN, David Guyana (1957 - ) David Dabydeen was born on a sugar estate in Berbice, Guyana in 1957. His family lived for a time in New Amsterdam where he attended school.

At the age of around ten he won a scholarship to Queen’s College in Georgetown where he studied for a couple of years. He was sent to England at the age of twelve in 1969 and was in care until he was sixteen. He won a scholarship to Cambridge University and read English there and at London Universities, completing his doctorate in 1982. He was a post-doctoral fellow at Oxford University for three years. He is currently Professor at the Centre for Caribbean Studies, University of Warwick and was for some years a roving ambassador for Guyana. Slave Song (Poems) Winner of the Commonwealth Poetry Prize. In these poems Dabydeen explores the connections between slavery and indenture, the desire-hate relationship between Black and White and the violence and vitality of Creole.

At 26, she has been nominated for one of the most prestigious awards in literature. Her collection of short stories, Krik? Krak!, explores the island of her birth, Haiti, blending its poetry and its tremendous pain. Reached at her Brooklyn home where she lives with her parents, Danticat says she draws on the stories she heard as a little girl. "We take great pride in our past,'' says Danticat in her gently accented English. Her first languages were Creole and French. When she was a toddler, her parents left Haiti to find a better life in the U.S. She stayed with an aunt and uncle until she rejoined them at 12. While her stories are set in contemporary Haiti, Danticat brings in historical characters like the 1790s slave leader Boukman and events like the killings in 1937 at Massacre River (when soldiers in the Dominican Republic slaughtered Haitians). Although she is a U.S. citizen, Danticat remains connected to Haiti, which she has visited recently. Krik? Krak! is being translated into Creole for Haitian radio. Danticat also served as the associate producer of a documentary made by Jonathan Demme about Haitian torture survivors, Courage and Pain. Danticat always wanted to write, but she planned to train as a nurse after she graduated from Barnard College with a degree in French literature. Like many children of emigrants, Danticat felt great pressure to become "a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer.'' Only because she had a scholarship did she attend Brown University to earn an MFA in creative writing instead of attending nursing school. Her much-praised first novel, Breath, Eyes, Memory, was published in 1994. (From USA TODAY - May 1997) Breath, Eyes, Memory New York: Soho, 1994. London: Abacus, 1994. New York: Vintage Books, 1995.

DAS, Mahadai Guyana (1954 - ) Mahadai Das was born in Eccles, East Bank Demerara, Guyana in 1954. She wrote poetry from her early school days at Bishops High School, Georgetown. She did her first degree at the University of Guyana and received her MA at Columbia University, New York, and then began a doctoral program in Philosophy at the University of Chicago. Das became ill and never completed the programme. She was a dancer, actress, teacher, and beauty-queen, served as a volunteer member of the Guyana National Service in c1976 and was part of the Messenger Group promoting ‘Coolie’ art forms at a time when Indo-Guyanese culture was virtually excluded from national life. Mahadai Das has, tragically, suffered from debilitating health problems that appear to have curtailed the writing career of one of the Caribbean’s most talented women poets.

I Want to be a Poetess of my People Traces the roots of the Guyanese people from indentureship to independence. The collection calls for a new sense of nationalism independent of colonial powers, though it also bears the marks of being beholden to the sloganizing politics of the PNC. 1977. My Finer Steel Will Grow Expresses a growing disillusionment with Guyana under the PNC and its corruption, authoritarianism and anti-Indianism. 1982. Bones Writing from feminist and lndo-Caribbean perspectives, Mahadai Das’s poetry reveals a daring metaphorical imagination in exploring love, love denied, illness as a literal and metaphoric dimension of life and the experience of urban America.

DAWES, Kwame Jamaica (1962 - ) Kwame Senu Neville Dawes, son of the writer Neville Dawes, was born in Ghana in 1962 and grew up in Jamaica where he attended Jamaica College and the University of the West Indies at Mona. He studied and taught in New Brunswick on a Commonwealth Scholarship to Canada. Since 1992 he has been teaching at the University of South Carolina. He is an Associate Professor in English on the Columbia campus of that institution. Progeny of Air Progeny of Air is Kwame Dawes' first publication and won the Forward Poetry Prize for first book in 1994. In making his own return of memory from Canada and South Carolina to a childhood and youth in 1970's Jamaica, Dawes' poems display a gift of characterization, and an acute sense of time and place. Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 1994. Resisting the Anomie Resisting the Anomie is Kwame Dawes' 2nd collection of poetry. Dawes celebrates his roots and holds them fast. Dawes writes poems of love, faith, anger and humor that offer glimpses into his many homes. Fredericton: Goose Lane Editions, 1995. Prophets The author's 3rd poetry collection. Drawing on inspiration as diverse as Derek Walcott, the Bible and Peter Tosh, Kwame Dawes brings alive a world where 24-hour satellite television belching out the swaggering voices of American hellfire preachers, competes with dancehall, 'slackness' and ganja for Jamaican minds. Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 1995. Jacko Jacobus The author's 4th poetry collection and his second book-length poem. Here Dawes reworks the myth of Jacob and Esau building on a griping narrative of prophecy, love, deceit and murder to address contemporary Caribbean realities. Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 1996. Requiem Requiem is Kwame Dawes' 5th publication. Inspired by the award-winning book The Middle Passage: White Ships/Black Cargo by the American artist Tom Feelings, these poems draw us back into the pain, cauterize the lingering infection of slavery and offer the oil of healing. Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 1996. Shook Foil - A Collection of Reggae Poems The author's 6th collection of poems dramatizes the conflict between the purity of essences and the tints of the actual, not least in the poems which focus on Bob Marley's life. The poetry rises to new lyric heights in these psalms of confession and celebrations of reggae's power to prophesy, to seek after righteousness and seduce the body and mind.

Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 1997. Wheel and Come Again - An Anthology of Reggae Poetry (Editor) The author's 7th publication. This collection is a dancehall session in poetry that takes readers into the heart of reggae and into the seduction of the drum and bass. It features poems from almost 40 writers of Caribbean origin including Kamau Brathwaite, Lorna Goodison, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Edward Baugh and John Agard. Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 1998. Fredericton: Goose Lane Editions, 1998. Natural Mysticism: Towards a New Reggae Aesthetic Natural Mysticism: Towards a New Reggae Aesthetic is Kwame Dawes' 8th publication. It speaks for all those for whom reggae defines the major experiences of life. Here Dawes describes how reggae has been central to his sense of selfhood, his consciousness of place and society in Jamaica and his development as a writer. Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 1999. Talk Yuh Talk Talk Yuh Talk - Interviews with Anglophone Caribbean Poets is Kwame Dawes' 9th publication. This is the first collection of in depth interviews with Caribbean Poets to be published and contains some of the most insightful revelations about the craft, ideology and history of twenty contemporary Caribbean poets. Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia, 2000. Map-Maker Map-Maker is Kwame Dawes' 10th publication and was a winner in the Poetry Business Book and Pamphlet competition in 1999. Map-Maker is a compact chapbook of four of Dawes' most striking and complex long poems that traverse landscapes from Ghana, through the Caribbean to South Carolina. Westgate: Smith/Doorstop Books, 2000. Midland Midland is Kwame Dawes' 7th collection of poetry and the first to be published in the United States. It is a powerful testament of the complexity, pain, and enrichment of inheritance. It is a compelling meditation on what is given and taken away in the acts of generation and influence. Athens, OH: Ohio University Press, 2001. One Love One Love was inspired by Roger Mais' classic novel Brotherman and is Dawes' first published play. This powerful parable of desire and denial premiered at Bristol Old Vic in April 2001. It was commissioned by Talawa, Britian's leading black theatre company. London: Methuen, 2001. A Place To Hide and Other Stories A Place To Hide and Other Stories is Kwame Dawes' first book of fiction. In this book of short stories, he tells fascinating tales of human relationships and the political and social underpinnings of Jamaican life. Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 2002. New and Selected Poems 1994-2002 The author's 14th publication contains a generous selection from his earlier collections of poetry, as well as new poems that in their frank meditations on family and individual trauma comment revealingly on the themes and concerns of his earlier collections. Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 2002. Bob Marley: Lyrical Genius A captivating analysis of the poetry, intelligence and spiritual aspects of Bob Marley's lyrics. It guides the reader through all of Bob Marley's songs that appeared on the Island label ending with Confrontation, contextualizing the Island material within the larger body of Marley's work.

ESCOFFERY, Gloria Jamaica (1923 - 2002) Gloria Escoffery was born in 1923 in Gayle, St Mary, Jamaica. Her father was a government medical officer and her mother was a professional violinist and Bridge champion. The family (who are white Jamaicans) can trace their arrival in Jamaica in the late 18th century, probably from Haiti after the revolution of 1790. She was educated at St Hilda’s School and was Jamaica Scholar in 1942. She studied at McGill University (Montreal), Slade School of Fine Art (London) and at the University of West Indies School of Education. She started out work as a journalist on the Public Opinion newspaper, taught art in Kingston and then taught English for many years at Brown’s Town Community College until her retirement in 1985. She is one of Jamaica’s most outstanding painters, her work first coming to notice in the 1940s. Her paintings of rural Jamaican life are particularly well known, with strong sympathies for grass-roots people, though there is nothing sentimental in her work, which has strong surreal, non-figurative elements. She is also an important art critic, with scores of articles in Jamaica Journal over the years. She was awarded the Order of Distinction in 1977 and the Silver Musgrave medal in 1989 for her services in the field of art. She died in 2002.

Mother Jackson Murders the Moon (Poems) Whether in her celebrations of domestic happiness in a house where even the chairs talk, her satires on Jamaican life, or her reflections on ageing, Gloria Escoffery writes with a visionary intensity and fantastical imagination which is all her own.

Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 1991. FLANAGAN, Brenda Trinidad and Tobago (1949 - ) Brenda Flanagan was born in Trinidad in 1949, the twelfth of fourteen children in an impoverished family. Her father was a barman, her mother a laundress. Brenda Flanagan recalls having a hunger for involvement with the wider world and dreamt of being a writer. She started writing poetry at the age of ten and by thirteen she was singing calypsos and earning money for it. However, at the age of fourteen she had to leave school to help support her family, by then only parented by her mother. She worked for a time in a factory, then was taken on as a trainee reporter of The Nation, the newspaper of the then ruling People's National Movement led by Dr. Eric Williams. In 1967 she left Trinidad for the USA, working initially as a domestic servant. Marriage and motherhood deflected her plans to study, but by 1975, then a single mother, she began undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan. There she won prestigious Hopwood Awards for her short stories, a novel and drama ('When the Jumbie Bird Calls'). You Alone Are Dancing Even within the solidarity of a rural Afro-Trinidadian village fighting land speculators and an uncaring government, a young woman learns that she can rely only on herself when a grievous wrong is done to her.

Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 2002. GILROY, Beryl Agatha Guyana / England (1924 - 2001) Beryl Agatha Gilroy (nee Alnwich) was born on 30 August, 1924 in Skeldon village, in Berbice County in British Guiana. She grew up in a large, extended family, largely under the influence of her maternal grandmother. Her grandmother took the view that the child would learn more by being taken all over the county with her, and being given space for wonder and enquiry, than in the regimented system of primary schooling. As a result Beryl Gilroy did not enter full time schooling until she was twelve. It is clear that much of her grandmother’s influence persisted in Beryl Gilroy’s own philosophy of education (she educated her own children at home) that stressed freedom for discovery within a framework of basic skills. Between 1951-53 she attended the University of London pursuing a Diploma in Child Development. Although a qualified teacher, racism prevented her getting a post for some time, and she had to work as a washer-up at Lyons, a factory clerk and lady’s maid. Between 1970-75 she wrote the pioneering children’s series 'Nippers' which contain probably the first reflection of the Black British presence in UK writing for children. In addition to her fiction and autobiographical books, she was a pioneering teacher and psychotherapist who was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by the University of London and an Honorary Fellowship by the Institute of Education for her writing and pioneering work as a psychotherapist. She died in 2001 at the age of 76. New People at Twenty Four London: Macmillan, 1973. Black Teacher London: Cassell, 1976. Frangipani House Frangipani House is the story of Mama King, trapped by age and infirmity, but ultimately indomitable. She becomes too much for her family who send her away to Frangipani House, a dreary claustrophobic rest home -- but Mama King does not give in. She makes her mark -- first through anguish, then near madness, and finally by escape to the dangerous, dirty, vital world of the poor. Frangipani House is a beautifully written protest at institutions that isolate, and a way of life that denies respect and responsibility for the weak. (Publisher's blurb) London: Heinemann, 1986. Boy Sandwich In her second novel, Beryl Gilroy vividly conveys the ways in which three generations of a West Indian family have been affected by life in Britain. For the grandparents, confined to the tyranny of an old people's home, a collection of sepia photos and memories are a vital link to the Caribbean and a rosy past. Their recollections instill in their grandson, born in the UK and brought up in an environment of racial conflict, the desire to take the family back to their homeland and regain a sense of belonging. (Publisher's blurb) London: Heinemann, 1989. Steadman and Joanna: A Love in Bondage London: Vantage, 1991 Echoes and Voices (Poems) London: Vantage, 1991 Sunlight on Sweet Water Beryl Gilroy transports the reader back to the Guyanese village of her childhood to meet such characters as Mr Dewsbury the Dog Doctor, Mama Darlin' the village midwife and Mr Cumberbatch the Chief Mourner. It was a time when 'children did not have open access to the world of adults and childhood had not yet disappeared', and perhaps for this reason, the men and women who pass through these stories have a mystery and singularity which are as unforgettable for the reader as they were for the child. Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 1994. In Praise of Love and Children After false starts in teaching and social work, Melda Hayley finds her mission in fostering the damaged children of the first generation of black settlers in a deeply racist Britain. Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 1996. Gather the Faces Marvella Payne is twenty-seven, works as a secretary for British Rail and has pledged to the congregation of the Church of the Holy Spirit that she will abstain from sex before marriage. When she repulses the groping hands of the trainee-deacon, Carlton Springle, she resigns herself to growing old with her mother, father and Bible-soaked aunts. But Aunt Julie has other ideas and finds Marvella a penfriend from her native Guyana. When good fortune allows the couple to meet, Marvella awakens to new possibilities as she realises how bound she has been by the voices of her dependent, cossetted childhood. But will marriage be another entrapment, another loss of self? Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 1996. Inkle and Yarico As a young man of twenty, Thomas Inkle sets out for Barbados to inspect the family sugar estates. On the way he is shipwrecked on a small West Indian island inhabited by Carib Indians. He alone escapes as his shipmates are slaughtered, and is rescued by Yarico, a Carib woman who takes him as, 'an ideal, strange and obliging lover.' So begins an erotic encounter, explored with poetic, imaginative intensity, which has a profound effect on both. Inkle and Yarico is loosely based on a 'true' story which became a much repeated popular narrative in the 17th and 18th centuries. Beryl Gilroy reinterprets its mythic dimensions from both a woman's and a black perspective, but above all she engages the reader in the psychological truths of her characters' experiences. Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 1996. The Green Grass Tango When Alfred Grayson, a retired and recently widowed civil servant, decides to buy a dog, Sheba gives him a passport to the diverse multi-racial community of dog-walkers and bench-sitters who meet in a down-at-heel London park. Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 2001. GLISSANT, Edouard Martinique Edouard Glissant, poet as well as novelist, was born in Martinique in 1928. La Lezarde was first awarded the Prix Renaudot when it was published in Paris in 1958.

The Ripening Originally published in French under the title La lezarde. This extraordinary novel tells the story of the rise to political maturity of eight young Martinicans, and their plans to stage a political murder. Concerned for the justice of the forthcoming elections, they fix upon a government agent who stands in the way of the people. They determine to kill him and, as their instrument, they choose Thael, an unsophisticated shepherd from the hills. (Heinemann blurb) Paris: Editions Du Seuil, 1958. New York: George Braziller, 1959.

His grandparents were both indentured immigrants from India, working in the sugar cane fields. After he left school, Vishnu Gosine worked as a mailboy, clerk and then as a teacher. He was one of the first graduates of the Corinth Teacher’s College. He currently works in a secondary school near Couva. He began writing many years ago and has been as active in the encouragement of others as in pursuing his own work. He was editor of a quarterly magazine, Corlit, and for a long time has been an active member of the Writer’s Union of Trinidad & Tobago. He is a regular book reviewer in the Trinidadian press. His stories have been published in the Trinidad and Tobago Review, Bim, The New Voices, Toronto South Asian Review, The Caribbean Writer and in a number of anthologies. The Coming of Lights A thought-provoking novel for 11-14 year olds which deals with the themes of injustice, compassion and forgiveness. Set in rural Trinidad, The Coming of Lights makes evident the relevance of Hindu teaching in the contemporary world.

Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 1992. GOULBOURNE, Jean Jamaica Jean Goulbourne was born in rural Jamaica in St Elizabeth, and grew up in Cross Keys, Manchester. She went to school at Mandeville High and Excelsior in Kingston. She read History at the University of the West Indies, Mona, and then took a Diploma in Education. She began teaching in the impoverished area of Ginger Ridge in St Catherine in 1971, later at Penwood, and the poems she began writing at this time reflect her distress and anger at what she saw. In addition to teaching, she worked in the Publications Unit of the Ministry of Education. Actors in the Arena (Poems) Savacou, 1977. Under the Sun (Poems) Trinidad: The New Voices, 1988. Excavation A novel. When a group of Jamaican students and their lecturers begin an archaeological dig on the old estate of Plantation Plains, each has different expectations. 'Jean Goulbourne’s Excavation gives a refreshing perspective on a subject that has long troubled the West Indies - the nature of identity in a multiracial society haunted by a history of colonialism...Goulbourne’s writing style is stimulating especially in the portrayal of the island’s landscape - and as she draws the reader into the lives of her characters, we gain a fresh perspective on West Indian culture, history, and politics.' - Geoffrey Philp, The Caribbean Writer. Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 1997. Woman Song (Poems) In Woman Song, Jean Goulbourne articulates the grief, hopes and unquenchable spirit of black women in the Caribbean. She writes with the directness of the reggae lyric, with both pungency and humour, and with an aphoristic economy which has the art of saying more with less. Her poems encompass the lives of women old and young; middle-class and sufferers; women whose lives are enclosed, who want liberation from the 'station of motherhood, wifehood and frustration', and women who through their resistance, creativity and assertion of selfhood have made space for themselves. The celebration of such lives stands as a beacon of hope in the depiction of Jamaican society in which rape, poverty and abandonment are too frequently women's lot. Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 2002. GRAY, Cecil Trinidad and Tobago (1923 - ) Cecil Gray was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad in modest circumstances in 1923. Reading and schooling provided him with a route towards security, a gift he has repaid by his lifelong commitment to education. He obtained a teacher’s certificate and an external degree from London University. For many years he taught at UWI St Augustine, training secondary teachers in teaching English. In 1976 he was awarded the Medal of Merit, Class One, Gold, by the Trinidadian Government for his meritorious service in education and culture. His proudest achievement was to have made a key contribution to getting West Indian literature accepted in schools. His lecturing activities in this period undoubtedly held back his own writing, though he had poems published in Bim, Kyk-over-Al, Trinidad and Tobago Review, Savacou, The Greenfield Review and Caribbean Quarterly. However, it was only after he migrated to Canada in 1988, with the hope that distance would enable him to write, that the poems flowed. The Woolgatherer (Poems) A richly autobiographical collection from a much anthologised Trinidadian poet which, with an astringency of vision and wry humour, confronts the remembered humiliations of childhood poverty and celebrates the liberating power of education. Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 1994. Lillian's Songs (Poems) Self-published, 1996. Leaving the Dark (Poems) Self-published, 1998. Plumed Palms (Poems) Self-published, 2000. GREAVES, Stanley Guyana Stanley Greaves was born in Guyana. He studied Art in the UK and was head of the Division of Creative Arts at the University of Guyana for several years. He left Guyana in the 1980s and has been resident in Barbados since that time. He is one of the Caribbean’s most distinguished artists with major exhibitions in the UK (The Elders, with Brother Everald Brown) and Europe as well as throughout the Caribbean. In addition to his poetry and painting, he is also an accomplished classical guitarist. Horizons (Poems) Stanley Greaves brings a painter’s perceptions and a musician’s ear to the writing of this substantial selection of his poetry written over the past forty years. He describes his painting as ‘a kind of allegorical story-telling’ and the same kind of connections between the concrete and the metaphysical, and the presence of the extraordinary in the ordinary are found in his poems. This collection won the 2002 Guyana Prize for the best first collection of poetry. Leeds: Peepal Tree Press, 2002. GUY, Rosa USA / Trinidad and Tobago Bird at My Window Philadelphia: J.B.

HODGE, Charles Borromeo St. Martin (1939 - 1998) Charles Borromeo Hodge was born on November 9, 1939, to St.Martin parents in San Nicholas, Aruba. He was raised by his grandmother, Ann Catherine Hodge, in St.Martin, where he attended St. Joseph School. He completed elementary and high school (HBS) in Curacao, where he won the Neerlandia Prijs for composition writing. In 1959, Hodge, with high school diploma in hand, headed home, again. That same year, the grass roots political activist Leonides "Bahba" Richardson, introduced Hodge to the nation's father of journalism and political progressive Joseph H. Lake, Sr. Lake's influence on Hodge's writing and political development would be profound and not without controversy. Hodge's first poem, "The Rock," appeared in a 1959 issue of Lake's Winward Islands Opinion. He also wrote articles "of a radical nature," at a time when many St.Martiners hid in the alleys of Great Bay (Philipsburg) to buy the Opinion newspaper, because of its writings against "slave wages" and the political system that were "keeping down people." In 1970, Hodge emigrated to Harlem, USA. In that "Black Mecca" of New York City, the St.Martiner wrote most of the poems of his first volume, Songs & Images for St.Martin (1997). In 1991, Hodge returned to St.Martin, "to stay." After his return home, his poems, short stories, essays, and commentaries appeared with ravenous persistency in especially the daily St.Maarten Guardian. The senior poet's writings also appeared regularly in the nation's other publications until his death in 1998. Songs & Images for St.Martin (Poems) Borromeo is a strong, reverberating poetic voice nobody dares ignore.

HOLDER, Geoffrey Trinidad and Tobago (1930 - ) Towering, breathtakingly limber interpretive dancer Geoffrey Holder was born in Trinidad and educated at Queens Royal College. Holder's first professional dancing gig was in his brother Roscoe's travelling troupe. He toured the West Indies and Puerto Rico before making his New York stage debut in the 1954 Broadway musical House of Flowers. Heading his own troupe from 1956 onward, Holder appeared as both an ensemble dancer and as soloist and choreographer in 'outside' productions. He made his dramatic bow in 1957 in the near-mime role of Lucky in 'Waiting for Godot.' His subsequent stage work has earned him numerous awards, including two Tonys--one for direction, the other for costume design--for 1974's 'The Wiz.' His film roles leaned towards the exotic, e.g. Baron Samedi in the 1973 James Bond thriller 'Live and Let Die' (1973) and Punjab in 'Annie' (1981). He is best known to TV fans for his series of mid-1970 Seven Up commercials, in which he elegantly and laughingly extoled the virtues of "Un-Cola Nuts." Outside of his theatrical and film accomplishments, Holder is an accomplished painter, his works having been showcased in several major international exhibitions. He is also the author of several books. Geoffrey Holder is married to dancer Carmen de Lavallade.

JACK, Drisana St. Martin Drisana Deborah Jack is at the articulate edge of a small and exciting batch of St.Martiners who are, sometimes simultaneously, busy in literature, art, dance, song, and music, lighting and unprecedented crop of creative fires. Their energy become the essential fuel for the nation's cultural launch, or leap, into the twenty-first century. These cultural workers come at a time when they are urgently needed at home. Their vanguard is earning critical attention throughout the Caribbean and beyond from noted artists and institutions. When Drisana--also busy in art and theater--was granted a Fellow by the Caribbean Writers Institute, University of Miami (1996), she was already being called a leader and "a most promising poet" among St. Martin's cultural brat pack in the Newsday and Guardian newspapers. Her recitals have been at functions ranging from a "book party" for scholar George Lamming to a protest against the proposed "Franco-Dutch" colonial treaty. Before graduating from Marist College (BA, 1993), she had been published in MC's Collection of Non-fiction Student Writings, listed in Who's Who of Students in American Colleges and Universities, and picked up the National Collegiate Communications Award. The Rainy Season (1997) is Drisana's first published volume of poems.

Arriving from India in 1917, their labor and the labor of future generations made their island rich but left them poor, far from home, and despised by native islanders. From the guaranteed work on the estates, the laborers were forced to move on, to survive in a hostile world not knowing where the next day's bread would come from. This is the story of their lives, their resilience and their ultimate survival. (Publisher's blurb) Oxford: Heinemann, 1992.

(Archie) Markham's large, cultivated, extended family (theirs was, as his friend Howard Fergus describes, a 'near Great-House') continues to provide him with much material for his fiction and poetry. He began a classical education at Montserrat's only grammar school, but left the island in his youth to complete his education in Britain. Nevertheless, he has remained closely concerned with the fortunes of Monserrat, particularly after the devastating hurricane Hugo of 1989 and the volcanic eruption of a few years later that continues to threaten Montserrat's very existence as a society.

This is a well crafted and entertaining collection of linked stories.

The countryside and characters are beautifully observed and realized, and Earl McKenzie excels at convincing dialogue. Proverbs, rituals, and folklore are unobtrusively drawn upon to enhance the sense of a world intimately known. (Publisher's blurb) Heinemann, 1991. McLELLAN, G.H.H.

MORDECAI, Pamela [unknown] Her True-True Name: An Anthology of Women's Writing from the Caribbean (Editor) From memories of turn-of-the-century Dominica to the contemporary USA, Africa, and Britain, 31 women writers from throughout the Caribbean express the loss and the longing, the pride and passion of the Caribbean identity. Differences of language -- English, French, Spanish -- point to a common history of migration and imperialism. The precision of "standard English" and the poetry of creole embody the rich contradictions of that heritage. Rooted in African old-tradition, a modern self-defining consciousness insists on calling itself by its 'true-true name.' The selections, arranged by country, include the following writers: Guyana -- Beryl Gilroy, Grace Nichols, Janice Shinebourne. Belize -- Zee Edgell. Cuba -- Omega Aguero, Mirta Yanez. Jamaica -- Erna Brodber, Michelle Cliff, Christine Craig, Velma Pollard, Joan Riley, Olive Senior, Sylvia Wynter Carew. Haiti -- Marie Chauvet (Marie Vieux). Dominican Republic -- Hilma Contreras.

SCHWARZ-BART, Simone Guadeloupe The Bridge Beyond In this novel Simone Schwarz-Bart shows the survival power of the women of Guadeloupe who live in conditions of extreme poverty and deprivation and yet who are filled with dauntless courage and love for life. The story is of the proud Lougandor women --Toussine the grandmother who, when luck deserts her, refuses to 'make a habit of sorrow' instilling in her grand-daughter, Telumee, the same principles of self reliance. For these two women happiness and suffering are different sides of the same coin. (Heinemann blurb) London: Heinemann, 1982. Between Two Worlds Simone Schwarz-Bart's tale intertwines the real and the magical, the history of the author's native Guadeloupe and the myths of the island. A monstrous beast has blocked out the sunlight and thrown Guadeloupe into eternal darkness. The beast is white domination and TiJean must destroy this evil. Through an exploration of contemporary Guadeloupe and a journey in the Africa of his ancestors, Simone Schwarz-Bart puts her hero to the test, but will he come through his voyage unscathed?

Sekou was born in Aruba to St.Martin parents and was reared in St.Martin. As founder of House of Nehesi Publishers, for which Sekou serves as projects director, he encourages and promotes young writers and has secured the publication of books by an unprecedented number of St.Martiners. Since 1986, House of Nehesi has published more books in and about St.Martin, and by St.Martin writers, than any similar period in the island's post-Colombian history. Sekou has helped to demystify the writing and publishing of books by St.Martiners in St.Martin. He continues personally and through House of Nehesi to encourage critical research, reading, and writing, particularly with regard to St.Martin/Caribbean oral and recorded history, culture, and the natural environment. Sekou has secured the publication of literary/scholarly books by writers from Saba, Curacao, Barbados, Tortola, and the USA. Sekou has recited at the prestigious University of The West Indies Caribbean Writers Series, and for other universities, international festivals, and organizations throughout the Caribbean, USA, England, Germany, The Netherlands, and Korea. Scholars/writers Kamau Brathwaite (UWI/New York University), Dr. Howard Fergus (Montserrat), Dr. Joseph Pereira (UWI/Jamaica), Wim Rutgers (Aruba), Daniella Jeffry (St.Martin), Fabian Badejo (St.Martin) are among those who consider Sekou to be one of the most prolific new generation Caribbean poets. According to Dr. Fergus, Sekou's writings and his work at House of Nehesi are serving not only to bring St.Martin's culture to the region and the world but also to let the world know that there are serious literary activities going on in the eastern Caribbean. Sekou's poetry and reviews of his writings have appeared in Callaloo, Discover St. Martin-St.Maarten, The Caribbean Writer, Del Caribe (Cuba), The Massachusetts Review (USA), De Gids (The Netherlands), Revue Noir (France), and other national, regional and international journals and magazines. Sekou's articles on history, culture, and politics appear regularly in St.Martin's Newsday (which he edited 1984-1997). In 1994, Lasana M. Sekou was awarded the James Michener Fellow from the University of Miami's Caribbean Writers Institute. Moods for Isis - Picturepoems of Love & Struggle (Poems) The variety and quantity of his insight will motivate and stir the soul/mind of his readers to intense passion....as they attempt to absorb his multi-level poetic message. - Linda Taylor 1978 For the Mighty Gods - An Offering (Poems) The main feeling flashing through the book is of a conscious young Black man; conscious of the ugliness and beauty of this world. It is clear he understands the tied up beauties of black life... That our struggles are righteous. That we will win. That our women are Black beauties packed full of the sweetness of love desired and expressed. - Amiri Baraka 1982 Images in the Yard (Poems) The aim ... is not to romanticize the past nor detract from present hardships, but to awaken 'the people' to the true consciousness of our predicament, to give us an awareness of recognition, and to forge a dignified sense of identity for Balck people all over the universe... Lasana's message is crucial to the survival of 'Them Freedom Fighters'... - Musa W. Ibrahim 1983 Maroon Lives - For Grenadian Freedom Fighters (Poems) 1983 Born Here (Poems) Born Here should be considered the first true poetic baptism of Lasana Sekou in the still sedated waters of his native island on which more than 300 years of French and Dutch colonial rule has had a numbing lethargic effect. - Fabian A.

He is currently Professor of English at Laval University, Quebec. Spirits in the Dark Nigel Thomas writes with compelling honesty about the confusing maze of pressures that paralyze Jerome Quashee, who undergoes a religious ritual, blocking all sensual links to the outside world in order to see clearly into his past and find the sources of the pain and guilt that torment his soul. His intelligence at first promises him a gateway out of the poverty his parents have known, but he must compete with privileged white boys for scholarships in a racist, class-ridden culture. He wrestles with both the guilt of knowing so little about his African heritage and the simultaneous pressure to think, speak, and act as a white person. And he will bring disgrace on his family if he does not suppress his emerging homosexuality. (Publisher's blurb) Heinemann, 1994. THOMAS, Herbert T.

As she reads she cannot anticipate the effect it will have upon her own future. It is the diary of Juletane, a young West Indian woman. Written over three weeks, it records her short life; her lonely childhood in France, her marriage to an African student, and her eager return, with him, to Africa -- the land of her ancestors. In stark contrast to her naive illusions, the social realities of traditional Muslim life and their cultural demands on her as a woman threaten to drive her to unendurable extremes of loneliness and complete alienation. She is a foreigner, in spite of the color of her skin. (Heinemann blurb) London: Heinemann, 1987. WATERS, Erika J.

WILSON, Betty [unknown] Her True-True Name: An Anthology of Women's Writing from the Caribbean (Editor) From memories of turn-of-the-century Dominica to the contemporary USA, Africa, and Britain, 31 women writers from throughout the Caribbean express the loss and the longing, the pride and passion of the Caribbean identity. Differences of language -- English, French, Spanish -- point to a common history of migration and imperialism. The precision of "standard English" and the poetry of creole embody the rich contradictions of that heritage. Rooted in African old-tradition, a modern self-defining consciousness insists on calling itself by its 'true-true name.' The selections, arranged by country, include the following writers: Guyana -- Beryl Gilroy, Grace Nichols, Janice Shinebourne. Belize -- Zee Edgell. Cuba -- Omega Aguero, Mirta Yanez. Jamaica -- Erna Brodber, Michelle Cliff, Christine Craig, Velma Pollard, Joan Riley, Olive Senior, Sylvia Wynter Carew. Haiti -- Marie Chauvet (Marie Vieux). Dominican Republic -- Hilma Contreras.

She graduated from the University College of the West Indies, Jamaica, with a B.A. in history, Latin and English in 1957, followed with a Diploma in Education in 1958. Wilson worked as a high school English teacher in Jamaica and Morocco, before returning home in 1969, and serving in Barbados' Ministry of Foreign Affairs and at the Caribbean Tourism Research Centre. She was instrumental in establishing the National Independence Festival of creative Arts (NIFCA) in 1973, and for nearly thirty years has been representing her country and the cultural arts on national, regional and international boards, committees and fora in dance, theater and tourism. The president of Stage One Theatre Productions (1980-1982), manager of the Barbados Dance Theatre Company (1985-1988) and administrative director of WWB Productions (1986-1996), Wilson has also served as chairperson of the Association of Caribbean Theatre Artists (ACTA) and a director of the CARICOM Foundation for Arts and Culture. She is a member of numerous other cultural foundations, including the Barbados museum and historical society. Fluent in French and Spanish, she is well-known in Barbados and other parts of the Caribbean as an actor, storyteller, producer and dancer. As one of Barbados' grandes dames of the cultural arts, Wilson has produced "Paint it Jazz" for the Barbados Jazz Festival (1994-1995), as well as the official presentations for royal visits and visiting dignitaries and heads of state (1975-1990), and numerous dance, musical and theater productions. In 1998, this wife and mother of three founded her nation's Stroke Support Group. The writing of poetry and stories has been a consistent but mostly private part of Wilson's life and professional career and "Same Sea . Another Wave" is her first book and the fruit of a long-standing dream. Awards and honors include the Barbados Service Star, the Bussa Award, University of the West Indies at Cave Hill Humanities Scholar, University of the West Indies at Mona Distinguished Graduate Award, and the Earl Warner Trust Lifetime Achievement Award. Same Sea ... Another Wave (Stories) In Cynthia Wilson's Same Sea ... Another Wave Cyrilene Sargeant takes us into her world with all the unstoppable confidence of a precocious, deeply loved child. ... Caribbean writers do explore childhood, of course, but there are few who evoke so beautifully and completely credibly, a childhood in the Caribbean in an era that we can now see as the childhood of the modern Caribbean. - Kendel Hippolyte, Poet, playwright, St Lucia St. Martin: House of Nehesi, 2001.
