Welcome to my
webpage! I was
educated at Ardenne High School in Jamaica but mostly I am someone who
loves to read. I am a lover of literature, poetry, music and art in
general and, in particular, Caribbean poetry and literature and World
literature. There is
nothing quite as enjoyable as a well crafted story. I know, having
spent much of my time buried within the pages of books. I
enjoy
the company of my favorite authors best. I have laughed with them and
cried with them. I know the characters well. That said, I am both
reader and critic. Caribbean literature is mostly an exploration of
identity and as such very personal and important to Carribbean people.
For
those of
you who are interested in learning more about Caribbean culture - here
are my recommendations. I have also included some popular fiction and
other works that are important. Read and live passionately.
Seek
truth and beauty. This site has been active since 2001 and has had well
over 6000 visitors. The box below
on Creative Nonfiction:
"Write a Memoir to Remember" has been on this site since
2002. A memoir is a family history that can be done quite easily
nowadays. Simply construct a list of questions you wish to
ask
dada, grandpapa or pappy. Then, use a video camera or camcorder to make
your
recording and you are good to go.
Enjoy! ---B
